Volunteer at Hillview
All over Hillview, every week - on campus and off, in classrooms and in the PAC - parents, neighbors, and friends are making the Hillview experience a better one for our teachers and kids by volunteering their time and energy. There are so many different ways to help - like serving hot lunch, chaperoning a dance, delivering snacks for the teachers and the students, and coordinating parties and events. To continue to provide our programs and services we need every family to contribute 5 hours of volunteer time a year. If you are still looking for a way to get involved fill our volunteer questionnaire here or contact PTO Volunteer Coordinator Patti Buck and she will help identify a meaningful way for you to help!
If you are interested in a larger volunteer role with the Hillview PTO next year, please contact 2017-18 PTO Co-Presidents Ashley Wagstaff and Chris Sewell
who are recruiting right now.
