Help Bowman PTO By Volunteering

PTO is staffed entirely by parent/caregiver volunteers and we have openings that fit any schedule and availability.  Many roles can be done remotely and on your own schedule. When you sign up to volunteer you get to connect with educators, show your child you value their academic success, and meet other parents in our community. Take a look at the volunteer position descriptions or email president@bowmanpto.org with questions or general interest. 

BE A ROOM HELPER

for Your Child(ren)’s Classroom! 

Room Helpers are the most vital volunteers in our school by supporting their classroom teachers, organizing volunteers for classroom events, and helping connect their classroom families with the Bowman PTO.  It’s a great way to get to know your child’s teacher, classmates, and other parents!

Help Support PTO Through Membership and Donations

PTO membership is free with registration!  In lieu of annual membership dues, we have a fundraising appeal. We raise approximately $150 per child per year to support school programs, fund classroom supplies and staff recognition activities, and organize community events.  The Bowman PTO appreciates your donations and contributions! Please update your information in the Membership Toolkit and consider donating to the PTO HERE. 

Employer Matching and Grants – Make a Bigger Impact Without Doing More

Last year, just a handful of families unlocked over $5,000 in extra support for Bowman PTO simply by using their employers’ matching programs.  When you donate or volunteer, companies like Google, IBM, Microsoft, Moderna, Takeda, Veeva Systems, and many more will match your generosity – turning every dollar or every volunteer hour into twice the impact for our students, staff, and community.  Check with your employer about charitable matching programs. We are registered as “Bowman Elementary School PTO Inc.” 

To participate, you can either pay as usual in Membership Toolkit for all your PTO donations and submit your emailed receipt to your employer’s charitable matching program, OR you can choose “Offline Payment” in Membership Toolkit, pay in your employer’s charitable program portal, then email matching@bowmanpto.org with your receipt (This option is recommended for programs with long wait times for matching review).

Email matching@bowmanpto.org with any questions, or if Bowman PTO needs to be registered with your employer’s charitable program.
