Volunteering at Kerr
Volunteering is truly a work of heart and seeing how much it means to the children and teachers, makes it all worth it. If you would like to find out more information on becoming a volunteer, please submit your interest. We are looking forward to a great school year and are excited to have you help out our Kerr community!
We have MANY volunteer opportunities available throughout the year. Be sure to check our website and follow us on social media (Facebook and Instagram) so you don't miss out on anything!
All volunteers must have an approved AISD background check.
🎉 Kerr PTA Volunteer Bingo 🎉
Want to get involved and have a little fun while you’re at it? Complete **5 volunteer activities in a row** on your bingo card to be entered into our end-of-year drawing!
You must actually **volunteer** at the event—not just attend. Once you get 5 in a row, email vpvolunteers@kerrcometspta.org with the events you volunteered at so we can verify your participation through SignUpGenius and get you entered!
Did you know that each grade level has their own Facebook group? Connect with other families in your child's grade! You can share field trip photos, ask questions, and even meet your child's bestie's parents.
Please note: These Facebook groups are run by some wonderful Kerr parents and are not sponsored by PTA. However, we love to foster connection between our Kerr families and hope this helps those that would like to join!
