The Clothing Closet provides needy families of PPS children a place to “shop” for donated, gently used clothing. Volunteers from PPS schools staff the Clothing Closet, located at Marshall HS, on specific dates throughout the year.

Volunteers may choose to work with groups of students in the garden space as part of the classroom curriculum (arranged through individual teachers), help with maintenance, coordinating special garden clean-up events, or designing and planting new landscapes.

Volunteers will help both campuses implement Green School environmental principles, including Earth Day activities.

Secretaries at both campuses need occasional help answering phones, laminating, filing and copying.

This incentive-based reading program for all students is designed to encourage and celebrate reading. Volunteers collect and sort students’ reading tally sheets, monitor tally totals, write in calligraphy on certificates and prepare incentives and awards.

Volunteers supervise student safety patrol members in assisting students crossing NE 33rd at Hancock Street.

The Talent Show provides a spotlight for talents and a chance to applaud our students. Volunteers help coordinate this event.

The generous efforts of numerous volunteers and committees prior to, during, and after this event are critical to the auction’s success. The planning for this event is fun and rewarding and gives you a great opportunity to get to know other parents in the school better. A Steering Committee will be created to help manage the numerous volunteer opportunities. Proceeds go directly to Beverly Cleary School Foundation. More information about auction volunteer opportunities will be provided at a later date. Please indicate if you are interested in these specific auction volunteer opportunities:

Chinook Books provide coupons for local merchandise and service providers. Volunteers are needed to assist with the distribution of books and record keeping.  This year's Chinook Book sales will benefit the eighth-graders' class trip to Washington, DC.

Pizzicato Pizza donates a portion of all proceeds from pizza sales days to the Beverly Cleary School PTA.  Volunteers help with advertising the dates, taking pre-orders, and distributing the orders.

This event raises money for art programs, assemblies, artist-in-residence programs and the like at Beverly Cleary School. Volunteers are needed to help count laps, tally donation sheets and, best of all, share time with students as they run laps at the Grant High School track.
