Dragonfly Bazaar Volunteer Team: April 9th

The Dragonfly Bazaar is one of Thornton Creek’s favorite events! 3rd, 4th & 5th grade students create their own crafts and then sell them to classmates, learning creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurship along the way. It’s always a joyful, high-energy day for our school community.

To help make this event a success, we’re looking for volunteers to join the event planning team to assist with cutting Dragonfly Dollars, creating layouts, organizing vendor sign-ups, and collecting donations for the Dragonfly Bazaar store. Interested? Join our team! 

W.O.W Art Night: April 30th

Do you love creativity and community events? We’re seeking volunteers to help plan and support W.O.W Art Night! This evening event showcases student artwork and also serves as TCPG’s spring fundraiser. Both day-of support and planning engagement are needed! The planning team will work with the art teachers to create a vision for the evening and bring it to life. Whether you enjoy working as a team, reaching out to local businesses, gathering donations for the silent auction and raffle, assembling baskets and displays, or helping out during the event your support will play a big role in making this event a success. No experience required! Just enthusiasm and a willingness to help. Join us in creating a fun and memorable evening for our school community!
