Volunteer Opportunities

Event and Activity Chairs

Looking to get involved with the PTA but don’t know where to start? Currently we still have some vacant rolls to fill for Event and Activity Chairs. Without volunteers, some of these events may need to be cancelled. The time commitment can be as little or as much as you want, and you can recruit friends to help!​

We also have several helpers whose children will be moving onto middle school next school year so we will need new parents to take on those roles. Want to learn more? Please contact Cathy Datz at cathydatz@yahoo.com for more information or to volunteer.

About the Event Community Night is an annual tradition at Lisbon Elementary School where families and students come to put together Thanksgiving food baskets for local families who need a little extra help with food and activities for the holiday. We collect food and funds to fill 200 Thanksgiving baskets for local and HCPSS families. This is a great way for kids to learn how to be a good citizen. Many local families and businesses donate food to help fill these Thanksgiving food baskets.
