We’re looking for volunteers to help support some key programs this year:

2. Robotics Club: Help support and run the club on Thursdays, 2:30-4pm alongside Ms Oklander
3. Food Drive Coordinator: Pick up bags of food from the Wallingford Food Bank every Friday and drop them off at the school
4. Room Parent Coordinator: help liaise with room parents across different classrooms. We also need room parents
5. Maker Carts Volunteers: Help assemble our new STEM maker carts – unboxing supplies and organizing them onto the carts.
6. Beautification committee: Grounds and gardens – help organize BF Day work parties to complete various gardening tasks around the school
More details about all positions can be found on our volunteer page.
If any of these seem like your jam, or you are interested in learning more, reach out to vicepresident@bfdayptsa.org or fill out the volunteer interest form. We encourage you to reach out – every contribution, no matter how small, makes a meaningful difference to our community.
You will need to be cleared as a volunteer for any in-school task. Find out more about the process here.
And we need your help! We’re looking for volunteers to help with our Salmon in the Schools program. You’ll help maintain the tank and guide our students as they rear salmon from eggs to fry to release in a local waterway.
No prior experience is necessary, and schedules are flexible during or right after the school day. You will need to be cleared as an in school volunteer. Detailed information on responsibilities here. Reach out to vicepresident@bfdayptsa.org to volunteer!
