Volunteer Opportunities

Our PTA events, programs, and fundraisers wouldn’t be possible without the time, talents, and energy of our amazing volunteers. Whether you can give an hour, a day, or commit to helping throughout the year, there’s a place for you to get involved and make a difference at Banyan. 

Every hour and donation you give helps create the programs, experiences, and memories that make Banyan a special place for our students. Thank you for being part of our community and for supporting our school in such a meaningful way.

Here are our current Volunteer and Donation Opportunities:

  • Joining a Committee: Each PTA event is led by a committee that plans, organizes, and runs the event. Committees are a great way to meet other parents, share ideas, and make a direct impact on our school community. Click here to sign up or express interest in joining a committee.

  • Current Volunteer Sign-Ups: Throughout the year, we’ll post links to our active SignUpGenius pages here. These sign-ups make it easy to find specific opportunities like helping at an event, donating items, or setting up decorations

Food Drive to Support Our Banyan Families

As a school community, we have decided to pivot from our scheduled canned food and cereal box drives this season to focus directly on supporting our very own Banyan families who are currently experiencing food insecurities due to the ongoing government shutdown.

This year, each grade level will be shopping for a specific Banyan family in need. Together, we can make a meaningful impact right here in our community.

How You Can Help

  • Please purchase non-perishable food items only (we are unable to store refrigerated items at school).

  • Donations will be collected from Monday, November 10 through Wednesday, November 19.

  • Please bring all items to the front office.

  • Donations will be distributed to our Banyan families on Friday, November 21.

  • If you’d prefer to contribute financially, gift cards to Ralphs or Walmart are greatly appreciated.

  • You may also donate any amount you would like via Venmo, Zelle (find us using our email which is banyanpta91320@gmail.com, or credit card/Apple Pay. We will use that donation to go towards gift cards for the families. Be sure to include in the memo: “Banyan Family Food Drive".
