Volunteer Opportunities
Parent volunteers are critical to the Montcrest community.
Volunteers help to enrich our children’s experiences by providing support to teachers and staff, and by planning and executing both school and community-building events. All parents, both new and returning, are welcomed and encouraged to get involved in the parent volunteer community. Your time, no matter how much or how little, is appreciated.
We will update the MPA volunteer opportunities below once we have a clearer picture of the COVID protocols for the 2021/22 school year.
Opportunities
DONE IN A DAY
Over the course of the school year, there are a number of volunteer opportunities which are one-off in nature, typically have little or no advance preparation and can be done in as little as two hours. An example of a “done in a day” task could be manning the popcorn machine one day at recess as a special treat for the children. Please note: “Done in a day” does not refer to field trips, Fall Fair, etc. – these requests will come through class parents. Contact: mpa@montcrest.ca
PARENT SPRING SOCIAL
Join the committee and help plan our exciting spring event.
COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMITTEE
Assist with various community service initiatives such as a Bookshare (volunteers will sort and box books donated by the Montcrest Community and then distribute them to an inner-city school). Contact: mpa@montcrest.ca
THE TABER TUCK SHOP
The Taber Tuck Shop will be closed to start the 2021/22 school year. When it is safe to open, we will be reaching out to parent volunteers to help.
To learn more about the Taber Tuck Shop, please contact: mpa@montcrest.ca
LIBRARY LEARNING
This is your chance to model your love of reading while playing a critical role in the day-to-day functioning of the library! Responsibilities (when you’re not reading!) include database entry, sorting and shelving library books, assisting with displays, and labeling books. Contact: mpa@montcrest.ca
GRADE PARENT
Get to know your child’s teachers, the other children in your child’s grade, and their parents by becoming a grade parent. Your job will be to work with the teachers to coordinate parent volunteers for class trips and activities, communicate with parents in your grade about school and class events, and help with the grade cocktail party.
