Volunteer Opportunity! 

Thank you to those who have signed up to volunteer. We need about 2 more volunteers for a new opportunity to support students at Conn!  We will be participating in Level Up Literacy, a partnership with Read and Feed and Wake Ed Partnership to support students in 1st - 3rd grade with building foundational reading skills. We are looking for at least 5 volunteers who can commit to working one-on-one with students for a total of 2 hours per week during the school day. Training and materials are provided. If you would like more information about this opportunity, please reach out to Jenny Smith at jbormannsmith@wcpss.net.

Do you work for a business, own a business, or know of a business that should support our school? Conn PTA offers businesses several ways to support--from in-kind donations to cash sponsorships. In exchange, businesses are recognized as sponsors and gain marketing exposure within our CONNmunity. Learn more here or contact Ginger at fundraising@connpta.org for more information.
