Heritage Elementary PTA Volunteer Interest Form 

The Heritage Elementary School PTA is COUNTING ON YOU! It is the time and talents of our 
volunteers that make each school program a success. As you join the PTA, please demonstrate 
your commitment to our school community by volunteering to help! 

Below is a list of volunteer opportunities. Many of these activities are seasonal and require less 
time; while others may require a larger time commitment. THERE ARE VOLUNTEER 
OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE! We have many volunteers with young children and working 
parent volunteers too, and we understand that flexibility in scheduling is a must. 

Questions? Please contact Tricia Ellen, Volunteer Services at triciaellen@earthlink.net or 453-0160 

**All volunteers must complete the Wake County online volunteer application process to become 
an approved volunteer at the start of every school year. The application must be completed at
