Volunteer
Opportunities

Armstrong needs you!  There are many opportunities to volunteer on-campus AND off-campus.  We also have volunteer opportunities that have ongoing shifts or one-time opportunities. 

​

Recurring Volunteer Opportunities: 

Cafeteria

One of our greatest needs is for cafeteria volunteers. The Armstrong PTA has funded and operated the cafeteria since 1921. Volunteering replaces the need for several full-time staff and therefore save the district hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. In addition, it is also one of the most fun ways to engage with other parents and see the smiles light up your children's faces when they see you helping in their school! 

Please join our long standing tradition of cafeteria volunteer service by volunteering as a server or cashier in the cafeteria! We expect every family to volunteer in the cafeteria at least once a month. Check the CAFETERIA page to learn more and sign up to Volunteer.

Alice's Garden

                         Come garden with the kids in Armstrong's Alice's Garden! Alice's Garden was established in                                  2013 as the first garden program in HPISD and is named for the woman who donated the land for                          our school: Mrs. John S. (Alice) Armstrong. Our Master Gardeners, Caroline Trotman and Jana

                         Beth Eidson, develop age-appropriate lesson plans from Junior Master Gardener material helping the children grow edible crops, and teaching a curriculum including life science studies, measurement lessons in math and numerous writing experiences.  Maintaining our garden will build community, collaboration, responsibility, and school pride. Volunteers play a big role in the success of our garden program! We request one parent from each class attend the volunteer shift. The shift is 1.5 -2  hours, and the commitment is for the entire shift; not just the 30 minutes during which your child is in the garden.  CLICK HERE to Volunteer in the Garden.  Questions? Contact Candace Hines, Garden Volunteer Coordinator. 

​​​Teacher Workroom

Serve a two hour shift once a month in the teacher workroom to help teachers make copies, staple, cut out bulletin board images, make flashcards,  laminate, and several other helpful projects.​​ Teacher workroom volunteers allow teachers and instructional aides to spend their time on what is most important: preparing, teaching and interacting with our children.

Classroom Volunteer Opportunities: 

For each classroom, there are two room parents.  They serve as  liaisons between the teacher and classroom parents.  If you are interested in being a Room Parent, look for the sign-up form in BSSU or contact the Room Parent Coordinator. Spend time in your student's classroom interacting with their teacher and friends! Volunteer opportunities include coordinating class parties, parent reader, and more.  Click Here to check for opportunities in specific classes. ​
