Autumn Fun Day
October 5, 2019
Join the HSA for what has become a beloved Saturday morning tradition for Central School families. This event involves scarecrow making for display along the front of Central School, pumpkin decorating, and more fall fun activities! Volunteers are needed for prep and set up, day of set up and event duration and clean up. This is an ideal opportunity for volunteers available on a single October weekend (Saturday) and for a one-time, short commitment to help clean up post-event.
Volunteers needed: approximately 1 volunteer from each class for event day and clean up (scarecrow removal)

Walk to School Day
October 10, 2019
Join the movement and help Central School walk to school! This healthy and fun event supports walking to school by providing “walking bus stops” at various locations nearby to Central School. The bus stops head to Central altogether to make the morning more fun. A treat (apples) await student walkers upon arrival. Volunteers are needed to help run the walking bus stops and greet students upon arrival with apples.

Central School Auction
March 28, 2020
The Central School Auction is the HSA’s biggest and best fundraiser! Held semi-annually, the event is not only an awesome night out for parents, but is your chance to help raise the most money to go directly back to the HSA and back to the students at Central. This is an opportunity both for volunteers who would like to work on a longer-term planning commitment throughout the year and/or who can help out on a shorter term as the event gets closer. The auction chairs need all types of creative help - everything from basket wrapping to writing and editing to event set up and clean, so please sign up for this big fundraising event! A planning meeting will be held closer to the event to narrow down event specific opportunities for those that sign up.
Volunteers needed: approximately 2 volunteers from each class for event planning, set up and event night
Central School Fun Fair
June 12, 2020 6:30-8:30pm
Come help out at one of the “funnest” events of the year! Central School Fun Fair needs volunteers for set up (3:30 – 6:30pm), event help (6:30-8:30pm) and clean up (8:30-9:00pm). The Fun Fair is a mini-carnival run by Central School parents. Food, games, bouncy fun, carnival entertainment and dancing are all included in a great end of year celebration for Central families. This is a great way to pitch in for a one time event without any long-term or daytime commitment. Event timeline and volunteer slots will be finalized as the event date approaches.
Volunteers needed: approximately 45 total volunteers for set up, event and clean up
School Musical

Book Fair
November 12, 2019
Central School students love to read and love to shop!

Volunteers are needed for set up, evening event help, daytime (school day) event help and clean up.
Holiday Shop

This is an ideal volunteer opportunity for parents looking for a non-school day opportunity.
