We’ve got a spot just for you. 

Volunteer With Us!

🙌 Volunteers Needed — Join Our PTSA Team!
Our school thrives because of the time and talents of our amazing volunteers. If you’re interested in helping, please reach out to president@ellabakerptsa.org. We always welcome more helping hands! Check out the list of roles where your support is needed right now. All Volunteers must be LWSD Approved.

PTSA LEADERS NEEDED:

✨ Fundraising Committee
This year, your support is more important than ever since government funding doesn’t cover all of our school’s needs. By joining the fundraising team, you’ll help organize two fun and meaningful events that directly support our students:

  • Fall: Care for Our School Fundraiser

  • Winter: Raise Craze — Acts of Kindness Fundraiser

💐 Staff Appreciation Committee
Do you love showing gratitude? Join us in celebrating our wonderful teachers and staff! This committee helps plan Staff Lunches throughout the year, with a big celebration during Staff Appreciation Week (May 4–8).

Your involvement makes a huge difference — thank you for being part of our community! 💜

SCHOOL-DAY ENRICHMENT LEADERS NEEDED:

Math Challenge – Help coordinate the fun and self-running math challenge program that spark problem-solving skills in every grade. Also help organize the Math Challenge Tournament and bring to Ella Baker any great math opportunities you may identify.

STEAM Docent – Passionate about bringing science, technology, engineering, art, and math to the Ella Baker community, this program is for you. Recruit and coordinate parent volunteers to lead engaging STEAM lessons in classrooms.

No experience? No problem! We’ll guide you every step of the way. These roles are a fantastic way to connect with our school community, make a real impact, and have some fun along the way.

ART DOCENT CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

Ella Baker has a kiln and a related art program.  Each classroom gets to create a project from clay, and we need volunteers (whom we call Art Docents) to assist the students with these projects.  Art docents are also responsible for assisting the teachers with Deep Space Sparkle (DSS) art projects, as well as prepping and cleaning up after projects.

No art experience needed—attend a short 1–2 hour training, then help with two clay sessions (about 90 minutes each) and 6 DSS projects. Scheduling is flexible, and it’s a fun way to connect with students!
