🤝 Get Involved: The Power of the Bear Community

At Bromwell, we know that our school is only as strong as the community behind it. Whether you have an hour a month or an hour a day, your time and talents make a direct impact on our students' success. From the classroom to the garden, there is a place for every parent, guardian, and community member to help out!

🎒 Ways to Volunteer

There are countless ways to dive in, depending on your schedule and interests:

Classroom Support: Help with small groups, prep materials for teachers, or serve as a "Room Parent" to coordinate class parties and communication.
Special Events: Lend a hand at the Superhero Fun Run, the School Auction, or our community potlucks.
School Committees: Join the PTA or the CSC (Collaborative School Committee) to help make high-level decisions about school goals and budget.
Garden & Library: Help keep our Bromwell Garden blooming or assist in the library with shelving and book fairs.

📋 How to Get Started

To ensure the safety of our students, all volunteers must complete the following steps before starting:

Register with DPS: All volunteers must complete a background check through the DPS Volunteer Services portal. It’s quick, easy, and valid for the entire school year.
Contact Your Teacher: If you’re looking to help in a specific classroom, reaching out directly to the teacher is the best way to find out their current needs.
Watch the Friday Folder: Our weekly school newsletter is the best place to find sign-up links for upcoming school-wide events and volunteer shifts.

🌟 Why Volunteer?

Beyond helping the school, volunteering is the best way to meet other families, get to know our incredible staff, and see firsthand the amazing things your student is learning every day.
