Volunteer Opportunities 2011-2012

There are some great opportunities to serve as volunteers for Canyon Vista classrooms or PTA committees.

 

As a volunteer you have an enormous impact on the lives of our children.  Children love seeing their parents and other family members volunteering at their school.  It gives them a sense of pride and teaches them how important community service is. Whether you work full time or stay at home, volunteering can be for you.

 

Volunteer commitments may last one hour, one afternoon, one week or all year long.  The choice is up to you.  The Canyon Vista PTA is grateful for your efforts and contributions.

 

 Help to ensure all Canyon Vista Students enjoy GREAT PTA programs, such as: Field Trips, Art Masters, Assemblies, Reading Olympics, Talent Show, Red Ribbon Week & many more! There is something for EVERYONE: At home, on campus, one hour, twenty hours… With YOUR support, our programs will continue to be a success and provide AMAZING programs for our students. Please consider ANY committee that interests you. The opportunities are endless!
