Lunchtime Recycling & Composting Program Needs Volunteers!


We have a couple of open shifts this spring and we could use your help! Volunteer once per month on Friday (that's only 5 shifts for the remaining school year!), or we also have a half shift available on Tuesdays. If you'd like to volunteer but these days don't work, please get in touch- we may be able to rearrange schedules. 

Parent volunteers assist students with sorting compost and recycling throughout the year at Estabrook and we need a little help to ensure every lunch is covered. Sign up through the PTO membership toolkit (https://estabrookpto.membershiptoolkit.com) under Signups or contact Summer Parker at summerbparker@gmail.com.

Volunteers Needed to Help Organize the Run of the Mill Party!


We are looking for a couple of volunteers to help organize the Run of the Mill post-party! Run of the Mill is one of our favorite events, in which kids and families join with the community to run to benefit the Estabrook School.This is a great way to become involved with the PTO and community for working parents or parents who have more free time on the weekends or evenings. Please contact volunteers@estabrookpto.org to find out more.

We still need your child’s photos for the yearbook. 
K-5 for all , class parties , concerts, BBY, field day etc 
Please follow guidelines to upload photos. If you don’t label the photos correctly we cannot use them.
