BKS Volunteer Opportunities
VOLUNTEERING AT BKS: We know our school is a better place when parents, guardians, grandparents and the community volunteers! Children who have parents or guardians who volunteer at school receive a positive message that says, "Your education matters to me." They also learn the value of community involvement. We welcome any and all levels of involvement and we hope you will find your own volunteer niche at BKS. Whether it is the Library, classroom, PTO/committees, and/or field trips, there are a lot of ways to be involved at BKS. If you are interested in becoming involved at any level please speak with any member of the PTO Board or send an email to bkspto@gmail.com. Thank you!!!
