Open Position Descriptions:
Please contact Erin and Stacy if you are interested in hearing more about any of our volunteer roles; or fill out the form found here to let us know your specific interests.
(**Any position not listed below currently has a committee, but they are always happy to have more help! We would love to connect you with them.)
President Elect
The president elect will work closely with the current co-presidents who are in their final year at Meadowbrook. The president elect will learn what the job entails and be ready to take over the role the following year. This role can be filled by 1 or multiple people! The PTO president oversees all that is happening with the PTO; they coordinate all chairs for events, and make sure that each task is being accomplished.
Treasurer Elect
The treasurer elect will work closely with the current treasurer who is in their final year at Meadowbrook. This role does require a thorough knowledge of financials, if you can keep an excel form, and 'balance' a checkbook, you can do this role!
Teacher Grants Chair
The teacher grants chair collects grant applications from our Meadowbrook staff. The requests are then presented by the chair to the PTO Executive Board and are voted on. Teacher grants are requests that our teachers place to the PTO for specific learning needs for their classroom. This is a smaller time-commitment job, with lots of thanks from our staff!
Equity and Inclusion Board
The Equity and Inclusion board is new to the Meadowbrook PTO. We know we can do better as a community, and we need your input! This committee needs many faces and voices, and your commitment can be big or small. Whether you would prefer to help with one event, or throughout the school year, your voice would be appreciated.
Our Equity and Inclusion board will help the PTO and the Meadowbrook community looks at things from all perspectives. They will assist the PTO when events are being planned to ensure all details are viewed with an inclusion lens, and may work on education events throughout the year for students and caregivers alike. We are looking for a number of people to join this board and make it into something great!
In-School Bingo Coordinator
In-school bingo happens the last day of school before winter break! This is a fun and low-stress position. Working closely with Principal Sawatzky the coordinator will make sure bingo cards and prizes are available and sorted for each grade. The day-of they will be onsite to help run the event in their classrooms!
Lost and Found
We are looking for additional people to help with our Lost and Found. This position requires you to be onsite periodically to sort the lost and found items. Those with names included will be returned to the students' teacher with assistance from the front office, the rest will be organized. This position can be a one-time help, or continuous throughout the year.
A chair is needed for next year to simply help coordinate our volunteers!
Graphic Designer
Do have talent in graphic design? We would love to call on you for help! The graphic design volunteer position simply puts your name on our graphic designers list to be called upon if needed by our event chairs. You are welcome to say yes/no to each request as they come up. Occasionally an event will request help with flyers/graphics to market their event.
Photographer
Do you enjoy taking photos? Whether an amateur or a professional, we would love to see what you capture. Volunteering as a Meadowbrook Photographer will put you on our email list to capture photos at Meadowbrook events, to be used in the yearbook, future marketing, and on the PTO website and social media. The commitment level for this position is whatever you would like it to be!
