End of Year BBQ Needs Volunteers to Make It Happen

By Emerald PTO • May 19, 2026

We’re excited to celebrate another amazing school year with our Emerald community at the End of Year BBQ on Friday, June 12 from 5:30pm–7:30pm! This annual event is one of the biggest gatherings of the year and includes food, raffles, music, treats, and time for students, staff, and families to come together and celebrate the end of the school year. Because this is such a large event, we’re looking for volunteers to help with setup, grilling, serving food, raffle tables, cleanup, and other small tasks throughout the evening. Many of the volunteer shifts are short, so you can still enjoy the event with your family while helping make the evening run smoothly. Our PTO is powered entirely by volunteers, and events like this are only possible when families pitch in together. Whether you can help for 30 minutes or take on a larger role, every bit of support truly helps. Volunteer signups are now open:

Who Wo Are

The Emerald Elementary PTO is a community of families, teachers, and staff working together to make our school the best it can be. Every parent and guardian is automatically a member of the PTO, and there are no dues to join. We believe that when families and schools partner, students thrive.

The PTO supports classroom needs, builds connections through events, and helps create a welcoming school community. Whether you come to meetings, volunteer at an event, or simply stay informed, you are part of the Emerald PTO.

What We Do

The Emerald PTO helps make our school a vibrant place to learn and grow. From classroom grants and assemblies to family events, fundraisers, and staff appreciation, we support the programs that bring students, families, and teachers together. Every Popsicle on the Playground, Fun Run lap, and end-of-year BBQ happens because of PTO support.

Volunteer With Us

Our PTO programs and events only happen because of volunteers like you. From planning big events to lending a hand for an hour, there are opportunities for every schedule and interest.

Volunteers help with everything from classroom activities and family nights to fundraising and behind-the-scenes support. You do not need special skills or a huge time commitment to make a difference.

When you volunteer, you help create lasting memories for our students and strengthen our school community. If you would like to be part of the fun, let us know. We would love to have you join us.

Our Community Partners

Support Emerald PTO

Not every family can volunteer, and that’s okay. Another great way to support Emerald is through donations and community sponsorships. Every contribution, large or small, helps us fund classroom needs, student activities, and community events.

Your donation goes right back into our school, making a direct impact for students and teachers.
