Whittier at the Movies is one of our most popular programs! We host 4 movies per year, once a month on a Friday (2 movies for Grades K-2 and 2 movies for Grades 3-5). We are looking for four volunteers to form a committee to lead the program. Tasks include choosing movies, purchasing and pricing out concessions, securing volunteers (posting a pre-made form on our website), collecting student RSVPs via Google Forms (also pre-made), and coordinating with the school on logistics.

Are you inspired by books and sharing a love for reading? Then this may be just the right position for you! Train with well-seasoned volunteers to be involved with one of the most fulfilling volunteer roles in the PTO. It is the only volunteer position where you interact with not only the staff, as well as parents in the community, but every single student at Whittier.

We want to offer more casual opportunities for parents to gather and connect. We are looking for someone to coordinate the coffee donations. Ideally, grade-level groups could adopt a monthly coffee-talk. We have many of the supplies, we just need someone to take over the planning!

Basically, do you like to throw parties? Then you will enjoy being on this committee! Coordinate Fun Fair activities and games, secure volunteers and prizes, plan out the layout of activities, price out budget and hire 3rd appropriate party vendors (i.e. Face Painter, DJ, Carnival Games, Balloon Animal Vendor, Food Trucks).
