PTA Clothing Center Volunteer Opportunity
Monday, 9/29, 9:30 am to 1:30 pm
*VOLUNTEERS NEEDED*
Each year, every PPS school PTA is asked to provide volunteers twice to support the PTA Clothing Center, a vital district-wide service that helps PPS families access clothing and shoes for their students. Beverly Cleary’s volunteer day is approaching, and we’re seeking three additional volunteers to lend a hand (thanks to those who have already volunteered)! Volunteers will help students find clothing and assist with sorting donations. Parents, grandparents, and community members are all welcome.
Last school year alone, the PTA Clothing Center served nearly 1,500 PPS students, making a powerful impact possible thanks to people like you. If you’re able to help, please email communications@beverlyclearyschool.org to sign up.

OBOB

Do you love books, teamwork, and a little friendly competition? We have a critical need for volunteers to be part of the planning team to make sure the 2026 tournament happens.
If you are interested in helping keep this beloved tradition alive for our students, please email communications@beverlyclearyschool.org to learn more.
