Volunteers are always appreciated and in demand at Linwood! The PTA organizes fundraising events during the school year, where the proceeds go towards funding buses for class field trips, supplies in the classrooms, playground equipment, etc. We also fund programs that offer staff support and good old family fun! It is a HUGE job both planning and executing these events and we rely heavily on community involvement.
Please review the volunteer opportunities below and consider helping out his year!
