The PTA exists to bridge the connection between school and home.
We help with school sponsored events by providing volunteers, promotion in the newsletter and online, and monetarily. If you're a teacher, staff member, or are leading a volunteer project, here's how to engage us:
Pillow Scholarships
The Pillow Elementary Alumni Scholarship and the David Donald Dopkant Scholarships have been established to recognize former students who have excelled in their academic endeavors while supporting their community though various service projects. More detailed information and the application can be downloaded here:

Volunteers
We can send out a Sign Up Genius to ask for volunteers for an event. About 1 week before the event is the best time to send out the sign up, although we can do it on shorter notice as well. We need to following information to set it up: Description of the work the volunteers will be doing, time frame/shifts, how many volunteers are needed for each shift. Send this information to pillowpta@gmail.com. We'll send you a confirmation when it is set up (and feel free to remind us if you don't hear from us).
See the existing volunteer signups for examples.

Enrichment Requests
Educational enrichment request forms are available in the workroom, above the paper cutter or you can download it here. We approve most reasonable requests, although the approval may have to wait until the next PTA board meeting (first Mondays of the month).

Workroom Tasks
There is a folder system set up in the workroom for drop off tasks -- make sure to fill out a form with exactly what you need done, and our wonderful volunteers will copy, collate, cut, and laminate for you.
