Volunteer at Miraloma!
Our Miraloma community thrives because of the incredible involvement of our families.
Volunteering is one of the best ways to stay connected with the school, and there are opportunities for everyone—from classroom support to small one-time projects to joining a PTA committee.
Find the latest volunteer sign-up opportunities in the weekly Dragon Digest newsletter and from your teachers and room parents. Please take a moment to look at the different volunteer opportunities, so you can plan when and how you’d like to help:
Join the PTA and attend monthly meetings
Join or help out a PTA committee
Help out at any of the events Miraloma organizes throughout the year (during the week or in the weekend)
Give the teachers a hand in their class rooms
Come to the monthly School Site Council (SSC) meetings
Community Building & Fundraising Events
Fall Festival (September):
A community building event hosted by the 1st grade, with games, prizes, and treats for our students.
Volunteers needed to help run games, staff food booths, face paint, and help with set-up and clean-up.
This event is hosted by the 2nd grade and is the first fundraising event of the year. A walk-a-thon/run-a-thon where families, friends,and local companies sponsor our students as they jog around a 1/4 mile track.
There are plenty of volunteer opportunities, from event set-up, staffing the water stations/ food booths / check-in stations, to helping runners keep track of their laps.
Thanksgiving/International Potluck (November):
A community building event where we celebrate the diversity of our student body with a school potluck in the evening for families and students.
Inclusive Schools Week (December)
A week full of activities to celebrate our diverse student population and those students marginalized due to disability, gender, socio-economics status, cultural heritage, language preference and other factors.
Book Fair & Read-a-thon (February) :
This committee organizes and runs our very popular Read-a-thon, a 2-week event in the winter that encourages student reading and participation, and celebrates results.
This committee also supports the Miraloma book fair — a one- week book sale in the library right after the read-a-thon.
Hosted by the 3rd grade, this auction is our second major fundraising event, Miraloma parents and teachers celebrate in a fun-filled evening with food, dancing and the opportunity to bid on terrific items…all while benefiting our kids!
Volunteers needed to help secure auction items, host sign-up parties, run the student art auction, and more!
Teacher Appreciation Week (May):
A week to celebrate our amazing teaching staff and shower them with appreciation!
PTA Committee Opportunities
Another way to volunteer at Miraloma is to join a committee and work on larger community projects for the school — fundraisers, art projects, gardening, school communications, and more!
