Book Fair Volunteers Needed

Volunteers desperately needed for next week’s book fair! This book fair provides so much for our children– coupons for free books, books for your teacher’s classrooms, and the majority of money spent at the fair comes straight back to our school! But we can’t do it without our amazing volunteers! Please sign up below to help support our school and make sure the book fair is a success!

Outstanding Support Staff Award

Wendy Court

This award is given to a school support staff member who develops an outstanding relationship with students, parents, PTA, and the school community. Wendy exemplifies this award with her positive attitude, kindness towards all, and her amazing ability to run a busy front office while still making everyone who comes in feel welcome and appreciated. Thank you Wendy for all you do!!!

Outstanding Volunteer Award

Melody Richardson

This award is given to a volunteer who renders service to children through the education system and makes a positive difference. Melody volunteers two full days a week every week at Peruvian Park Elementary, making a direct and positive impact on our students and classrooms. This year alone she has already donated over 176 hours of her time to our students! She has such a kind and loving demeanor, and we are so lucky to have her at our school! Thank you Melody! You are appreciated!

Spirit of PTA Award

Tami Yamane

This award is given to an outstanding PTA volunteer who exemplifies the PTA Mission and Purpose. Despite Tami’s very busy schedule working two jobs she finds time to be our PTA Secretary (for two years running) and be at almost every PTA event. She can be found working hard in the background, quiet and unassuming but with a fierce dedication to our school and students. Our school is so grateful that she lends us her energy, enthusiasm, and great sense of humor!

Fundraiser Success

Peruvian Park PTA is so grateful for all the volunteers, donors, and faculty that make supporting our school and students possible. Your volunteer service and generous donations truly make a difference in our school community!

Our Spellathon fundraiser exceeded our target goals, so we will be able to continue funding field trips, classroom grants, teacher appreciation activities, family night, field day, and more! Thank you so much!

Now it is time to dole out our prizes to our students. We are looking for volunteers for the afternoon of Monday Dec. 2nd to assemble prize bags and help during the Pizza Party on Friday Dec. 6th.
