Sign ups will be posted throughout the year, but you don't have to wait for the opportunity to come to you. We are glad to cater to your interests and find the best fit.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
8th Annual Merry & Bright Holiday Bar
Be a part of this Bentley Elementary tradition! Join us in showing our appreciation for Bentley Elementary staff through donating treats and/or time at our Merry & Bright Holiday Bar! Our staff loves filling a holiday box from a delicious treat buffet. We are asking for store-bought or homemade treat donations for our 8th Annual Holiday Bar to show appreciation to our beloved Bentley staff. In addition to support with treat donation, we will also be looking for parent volunteers who would like to help us with treat collection in the morning car line on December 17th, 18th, and 19th from 6:40 am to 7:20 am, as well as volunteers to help during our Holiday Bar on December 19th during special for each grade.
Check out the sign up below to see how you can help!
Spring Dance Committee Meeting
There's no place like Zoom to join us as we plan, brainstorm, and create some Emerald City-level MAGIC for our spring dance in February! From volunteer needs and decoration ideas to food, drink, and activities - we will cover it all! Some of the volunteer needs include:
Curating, creating, and crafting decorations
Setting up before and tearing down after the event
General volunteer needs at the event
If you are interested in joining us for the Zoom meeting and need the information, please email our VP of VIPS, Afua Giles, using the button below.
Room Parent Sign-Up
We’re looking for dedicated Room Parents to help make this school year memorable and exciting for our students and teachers! As a Room Parent, you’ll be the go-to person for your child’s class, assisting with:
Classroom parties
Parent communication
Room transformations
Teacher support
Awards ceremonies
Questions? Interested? Please contact our Room Parent Coordinator, Hannah Livingston, at roomparentcoordinator@bentleypta.com.
Volunteer in the Workroom
We are looking for people who would like to have a hand in helping our teachers with simple tasks and small projects! Making copies or stapling papers for our teachers seems so simple, but it provides more time for our teachers to spend doing what they do best... teaching! Your small act has a huge impact on our teachers and students!
Jobs in the workroom vary - sometimes you're making copies, other times you're helping with projects that include laminating and cutting, but no need to worry - our teachers will leave instructions for projects and we have detailed information available for all equipment in the workroom. Debbie, Lorna, and Kim will be available to help and/or answer any questions while volunteering. Email our Workroom Coordinator, Debbie Floyd, with interest/questions!
