Here is a list of volunteer opportunities...

Art Room Volunteer The art teachers need help with special projects. Share your artistic expertise with a class, help collect special articles for use in art class (cloth, cardboard, bottles, etc.), work with a small group on an art project, assist during your child’s art period, and/or prepare art supplies for future use (roll out clay, etc.). Contact: David Rivers  
Book Fair Heatherwood has two Book Fairs, one in the fall and one in the spring. Parents are given the opportunity to purchase books, games and activities for their children or as gifts. Volunteers are needed to set up, to take down and to assist the students and parents while shopping. Please volunteer for 1 to 2 hour shifts during the Fair. 
Box Tops for Education This is a fun and flexible job that takes about 1-3 hours per month. The boxtops are sent in once in the fall and the spring. The responsibilities include updates and reminders in the school newsletters, cutting/preparing/boxing/shipping the boxtops. The money from this project can bring in anywhere from $500-$2000/year. The best thing about this job is that you can have your kids help by picking up the boxtops from the classrooms, cutting them, and counting them. This is a great opportunity for a parent that would like to work independently at home on their own schedule…or as a group of parents over coffee. This can also be a shared position. 
Building and Grounds/Reading Garden Maintenance If you want to help better the outdoor and indoor environment of Heatherwood, this is the spot for you. This committee oversees the status of the school site and makes improvements accordingly. This group is all about suggestions followed up by improvements. Time commitments are generally just a few hours throughout the year. This is a great way for Dad’s to volunteer. 
Bulletin Boards Do you have 15 minutes to spare? Post the Husky Highlights and other important information on the school bulletin board! This should be updated every two weeks. A great job for a kindergarten parent or a parent who drops off or picks up their child at school each day. 
Class/Yearbook Photographer Do you love taking photos? We need a volunteer for each classroom to take pictures of class parties, field trips, and other class activities. This person will then download the photos to the central photo file system in the library. Some photos will be used in this year’s yearbook.
Compostable Supplies Coordinator/Eco-Cycle Liaison Heatherwood tries to make as many events as possible zero waste. This person will work with Eco-cycle to continue to find ways to reduce the trash generated by PTO events and class parties. This person is also responsible for ensuring adequate supplies of compostable products for events. 
Crossing Guard This is a much-needed service for students walking to and from school. Volunteers are needed for 15 minutes before and/or after school to help students through crosswalks safely. Training is provided. The more volunteers we have the fewer times each volunteer is needed!  
Crossing Guard Scheduler

This is a half-hour commitment on the first three days of school.If you would like to help kids on the first day of school in 2008,this is the place for you!
Grant Writing Many companies and agencies offer money for educational related purposes. A group of volunteers is needed to help write grants to apply for funds from local, state and national agencies to fund Heatherwood activities. This is a great way to fundraise for the school, and it can make a large difference in the funds that the PTO has available to support students. Volunteers can help from home researching available funds, writing, editing or submitting necessary paperwork. 
Grocery Certificates This program is one of PTO’s easiest fundraisers. By purchasing grocery certificates you are able to use them as cash at your local markets and our school earns 5%. For example, if you buy $100 worth of King Soopers certificates, Heatherwood earns $5. They work like cash, and you are given cash back for any unused portions. We need volunteers to help fill pledges and sell certificates as neighborhood representatives or at school events. This requires just a few hours per month and can be done at home.
