Volunteer!
Our PTO wouldn't be possible without the support of our volunteers! Whether you can give of your time or talents, we would love to join with you in our efforts to enhance our school. Please don't hesitate to check out our volunteer opportunities below or contact us at [email protected]
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
DID YOU KNOW?
Statistics show that school volunteer work of all kinds has been linked to improvements in grades and test scores. IT'S TRUE! Small children LOVE seeing their family at school. It makes them feel valued and more confident overall, which leads to better grades, social skills, attendance and much more!
Volunteering does not have to take a lot of time. Even just couple of hours a month can help!
Here are some ways you can help here at Fort Sam Houston Elementary:
1) Be a classroom helper
- Be a chaperone on field trips
- Help with first grade rotations
2) Assist school staff
- Assist the nurse with annual hearing and eye exams
- Prepare teaching materials (copying, laminating, cutting, sorting, etc.)
3) Join PTO
- Board positions available to suit your time
-
Book Fair helpers
-
Help with student awards events, Fall Festival, Cougar Cub Fun Run, and more!
**A Volunteer Application & Criminal History Records Check form is required for any person (parent, grandparent, etc) planning to volunteer at any time with any function. Please take a few short moments to fill out the Volunteer Application (located below) and return it to the school via the office or through your child's teacher. Please plan ahead as this typically takes at least two weeks to process and get returned back to the school.
Many thanks for all the help with our activities from our fabulous volunteers throughout the year. We could never accomplish so much without YOU!!!
