There are many ways to volunteer at Janney. You can help with fundraising, help with an event, participate on a committee, edit the newsletter, manage the website, and more. Volunteering not only helps the PTA reach its goals of raising funds, building community and enhancing our children’s school experience but it is also a fun way to get to know Janney families and staff.

Please take a moment to complete the Volunteer Sign Up Form so we can best match your interests with the PTA’s needs.

Seeking Lunch-time Recess Volunteers

We are seeking lunch-time recess volunteers to help monitor the kids during recess.  This will allow there to be more lunch-time clubs as it will free up the teachers to lead additional clubs.  Teachers would also like the opportunity to actually eat lunch with the kids!  Ideally we would have two volunteers per day from 12noon – 1:15. Volunteers will start September 23rd.
