The lunch volunteer sign-up is active! PLEASE sign-up to help keep our Monday/Wednesday PTO-sponsored lunches a success!
- Signing up is EASY! Please click the link below.
https://coolidgeptowyckoff.org/signup/
And NEW this year - you can keep track of all your sign-ups, right on the PTO website! Click on your profile (on the upper right corner) and click on 'my signup receipts'! In addition, we will be sending reminder emails within 48 hours prior to your assigned day.
- Volunteering is EASY! We've streamlined the process even further! Plus, there will be an assigned 5th grade representative who will act as manager, volunteering alongside you. Lunchtime volunteering is a great opportunity to help out, and also meet new people in the community. Plus, it's an opportunity to see your kids while they're still excited to see you!
Please consider volunteering! Any questions? Please contact the 5th Grade Committee at [email protected] .
Reminders
