Next-Level Volunteering

3/4/2025 5:47 pm

Our volunteers are the BEST.  Lots of our volunteers are "aging out" of our PTA, with their kids graduating to the next-level themselves.  Would you consider stepping into some next-level volunteering yourself?  There are lots of opportunities out there.  We're thrilled that we've already had people step up for PTA Treasurer and Spring Fling Chair!  Some other specific needs we know we'll have next year are:

• VP Events
• Fundraising Coordinator
• Spirit Wear Coordinator
• Spring Fling Co-Chair (email cmassicot@bcps.org)

Do you have gifts in these areas that you can bring to the table?  We can answer all of your questions at potspringelementarypta@gmail.com.

Hop in the Fun as Fundraising Chair!

3/4/2025 5:46 pm

Would you like to be part of the rewarding adventure of arranging fundraisers with local restaurants and businesses?  Reach out to Casey Massicot (cmassicot@bcps.org) if you are!  She would love to show you the ropes through the remainder of the school year, so you can be ready in the coming school year.
