  • Students from the assigned Grade level will help create posters and advertise
  • PTO volunteers will help with organizing the event, along with sorting, processing, and logistics, as required. See sample task list below for the November project.
  • Volunteers can help with all projects, or just a few.  Volunteers can donate the amount of time they have - don't worry - you won't have to take responsibility for everything - we are a team that work together.  If you want to help publicize the event - that's great!  If you want to help sort and prepare donations for pickup - that's great!  Just communicate with the group and we can make it work!!!
  • The more PTO volunteers that signup to help, the more we can do! Join us using the QR code below. For questions and ideas, please contact the PTO at   regencyplacepto@gmail.com
