Volunteer Committee
Do you wonder how you can help more at the school? Do you want to be one of the first ones to know about volunteering options without all the responsibilities of being in charge of a committee?
Your Center Street PTA now has the option to join our Volunteer Committee. All you need to do is sign up for the committee with the link below. We will email you anytime we need volunteers on campus, after school, during events, or anything else PTA-related. There is no minimum of hours to join as you just have to commit a few hours whenever you have time to help out. The PTA would love to offer this to all families who are looking to volunteer and help. There is no issue if you cannot volunteer on the dates we ask because there will always be more opportunities to volunteer. We have heard from a lot of you that would like to volunteer on campus so hopefully this will allow you to help us without too much responsibility.

Trash Free Tuesday
So what are Trash Free Tuesdays?
Trash Free Tuesdays is a weekly program, which encourages families to pack a trash free lunch by using reusable containers, bottles, utensils and napkins to decrease the amount of trash our school contributes to landfills. While we encourage families to be “trash-free” everyday, on Tuesdays, each TK – 2nd grade student that has a trash-free lunch will receive a sticker. Students in grades 3rd – 5th with a trash free lunch will be entered into a monthly raffle drawing for great prizes. Students that buy school lunches on Tuesdays will have an opportunity to get a sticker or raffle ticket by helping Parent Volunteers guide students on how to properly dispose of their trash in the proper bins: recyclable, compostable and trash.
This is a great way to check on your kids, say ‘hello’ and give back to our wonderful community, school and the planet. Here’s a helpful sheet with links that’ll help your Cougar be trash free.
We will need parent volunteers to cover the following 1 hour shifts:
Shift 1: 11:15am – 12:15pm (Grades TK – 2nd)
Shift 2: 1210pm – 1:10pm (Grades 3rd – 5th)
2025-2026 sign-up link coming soon!
