Panther Palooza 2025 Volunteers

LEAVE YOUR MARK on Panther Palooza! Come be a Volunteer!

It takes a lot of volunteers to help run an event of this size! Please sign up to help with a shift or two or how ever many you'd like! This is a great opportunity to get grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings, and family friends involved in our sweet school! There is plenty of time to work a shift or two and still have fun with your kiddo(s).

 

Student Volunteers:  Please fill the game spots.  Students needing signatures for their completed hours should conclude their shift at the volunteer booth.

 

Adult Volunteers:  Please fill any spot you like, but we do need ADULTS in the ride/inflatable shifts. Please complete the volunteer application  if you have not already done so for the 2025/26 school year.  Student volunteers will not need to fill it out.

 

When you arrive, please check in at our volunteer booth in the school cafeteria. Questions can be directed to the PWE PTA Carnival Chair at  carnival@pwepta.org

THANKS!!
