Our PTA is comprised of a dedicated staff of volunteers and a variety of commitments. We would love to have you get involved....every hour of service helps to provide enrichment for our students. We will welcome you and any level of commitment you can offer: an hour a year, an hour a month, or even a hour a day! Please take some time to familiarize yourself with our committees and the events that require volunteers and contact the committee chairpersons if you would like to help out!

Help hang student masterpieces! Mrs. Hopkins periodically needs assistance in creating gallery-worthy displays of student works. 
How can committees advertise upcoming events or get the word out to Sope Creek students about the great opportunities offered by the PTA? By putting a display on the bulletin board in the main entrance!! Sope Creek's PTA maintains the bulletin board just outside the front office, and students and families check it often to find out what is going on.

School Bus Safety Week is a time to focus on safe, secure and reliable to the Creek. It is also a time to show special appreciation for the bus drivers and crossing guards who see our children safely to and from school. The PTA will host a brunch in their honor, but any extra kind words or simple gestures to thank these oft overlooked professionals is always genuinely appreciated. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, students are nearly eight times safer riding in a school bus than with their own parents and guardians in cars. 
Community Outreach holds events throughout the year to benefit children and schools in our area. Snack drives and school supply drives throughout the year benefit our sister schools and students in need. Community Outreach sponsors the Kids' Care Club, a group of fifth graders who meet in their free time to complete service projects. They also sponsor the Dr. Karen Looft Memorial Scholarship, awarded annually to one Walton and one Wheeler graduate.

New volunteer training occurs in August and September.
