Volunteer with PTA

Volunteers are the backbone of Lake Elementary. We are able to support so many wonderful activities for the Lake Community because many of our parents pitch in to help! We work together, in many different ways, to make the school a better place for our children. If you haven't volunteered in the past, consider this your formal invitation! 

Whatever your personality, lifestyle or schedule, there are many ways to contribute and make a positive impact.

Our promise: We will honor your time constraints and never push you to commit more than you want or are able to do.

Join our Volunteer Community and we will email you when volunteer opportunities arise, then you can decide if the opportunity suits you!
