GIVE THE GIFT OF TIME
The Great Falls Elementary PTA sponsored programs are fueled by our dedicated volunteers. PTA volunteers offer their time and talents to support the Great Falls Elementary community. Without volunteers, our organization would not exist, and enrichment and community outreach programs would not be available for our students and families.
The Great Falls Elementary PTA has a variety of volunteer opportunities to match your time and interests from one-time events to reoccurring commitments. Please also check our PTA Facebook page and weekly newsletters for any current volunteer opportunities.

Faculty & Staff Events
Back to School Events: The GFES PTA collaborates with GFES to prepare for the start of each school year by hosting welcome back teacher and staff events, helping to assemble student welcome packets, organizing new family events, and attending the GFES Open House to provide information on GFES PTA’s vision and goals.
Staff Holiday Breakfast: The PTA Hospitality Committee funds, organizes and hosts a warm, breakfast buffet. The staff is greeted with music, coffee, fresh baked goods, and a variety of breakfast fare to get the holiday season started! Thanks to the generous donations from our parents, a gift card is given to every teacher thanking them for their continued dedication to our children.
Teacher Appreciation Week: Since 1984, National PTA has designated the first week in May as a special time to honor the teachers and staff who lend their passion and skills to educate our children. At GFES, Teacher Appreciation Week is a collaboration between the PTA, administration, room parents, and students to celebrate our invaluable teachers.
Bus Driver Appreciation Day: Occurs in conjunction with National School Bus Safety Week, celebrates our hardworking bus drivers. Coffee and pastries are presented as a small token of our appreciation.
