• PAWS Volunteer Committees and Opportunities

    2023-2024 Current Volunteer Needs:

    • PAWS Cultural Arts Chair
    • All Committee Volunteers to Support the Chair/Co-Chairs

    PAWS will communication throughout the year as opportunities because available. If you would like to be involved and not sure which committee would be a good fit, do not hesitate to reach out to PAWS.President@EndeavorCharter.com

    Art Show

    Held annually, the Art Show highlights student art work done throughout the year.  The Art Show committee helps plan, organize, and gather materials.  We need volunteers to help organize student art samples and set up art work for the art show. You don't have to be an artist or creative person to help with our annual art show!   

    Book Fair

    The Book Fair runs for one week in the spring, and there are volunteer shifts available in the morning or afternoon.  You can even time your shift to correspond to when your student(s) come to the fair!  Two people "work" at a time, so you're never alone if you have questions, and the Book Fair Chair will either be on campus or available by phone.  Help students create their wish lists and check students out using the tablet payment system provided by the company.  

    Cafe Days Team

    The Cafe Days Team is responsible for organizing and delivering all orders Monday to Friday. Cafe Days is PAWS’ largest fundraiser. All proceeds help to fund the financial support PAWS offers to Endeavor students and teachers. Its success is reliant upon our parent volunteers. We need you on our team! 

    Cultural Arts

    The Cultural Arts Committee is a committee dedicated to the enlightenment and enrichment of our ECS students. Funds raised by PAWS through family membership and fundraising drives allow this committee to bring the arts to life for our student body. Music, storytelling, dancing and plays are just a few of the programs we have been able to offer. 

    Field Day

    Volunteers on the Field Day Committee will help plan Field Day activities/stations for the entire school, with activities for Elementary vs Middle School. The event is held one day in the Spring, for a full day of outside fun, running obstacle courses, games and activity stations for the students.  Additional Volunteer slots will be posted in the Spring for the one day event, for volunteers to help run the activity stations. 

    Hospitality

    The Hospitality Committee pampers our amazing teachers and staff with special treats, catered lunches, and other goodies throughout the school year. They also organize Teacher Appreciation Week and help with special events.  

    Lend A Paw

    Lend A Paw is a way to support the school with your sweat equity and by encouraging other families to participate in Lend A Paw Days. Activities during Lend A PAW days may include painting, doing small repairs, and working to beautify the campus. 

    Lunch Duty

    Parent volunteers manage the students along with 3 other volunteers and Teacher Assistants during the lunch hour per grade. Lunch Duty volunteers are needed for kindergarten through fifth grade and allow the Teachers to take a much needed lunch break, and prepare for the remainder of the school day.

    Parent Ambassadors

    Parent Ambassadors help connect the classroom to the parents by ensuring lunch coverage for the quarter, sending reminders about classroom activities and school-wide events and reminders, helping to organize holiday and end-of-the-year gifts, and pampering our staff during the quarterly staff appreciation days. Parent Liaisons also serve as a point of contact for possible coordination of social events and help to organize baskets for our Family Fun Fest. 

    School Pictures

    This volunteer opportunity is a great way to meet students, teachers, and staff, as everyone comes in at some point for their photo. The work entails directing students to a photographer station and sometimes collecting payment envelopes. 

    Year Book 

    The Year Book committee works to ensure photos are captured and recorded throughout the school year, organizes photos and content, and creates the book design for the annual school yearbook. Sale of yearbooks benefit PAWS fundraising efforts.
