opportunities to impact trailwood
Looking for ways to get involved at Trailwood Elementary? Want to support our larger SMSD community? Check back often for upcoming opportunities to benefit our school community both virtually and in-person! Please reach out to PTA President, Cher Brownback, with any questions.
spring volunteer opportunities
May is filled with so many fun and exciting events at Trailwood! It's an amazing time to be a Thunderbird!
However, these activities can't go on without your help! Please consider donating your time to one (or more!) of our amazing upcoming activities. There is something for everyone, and no experience is needed. Just click on the event below in which you have interest, and you'll find the accompanying Signup Genius. Please take a look at these opportunities and find a time that works for you.
We can't wait to see you soon! Thank you for your support of our students!
Carnival Cake Walk Donations: May 1st

be a committee chair
We still have some committees in need of chairs and volunteers for this school year. Please reach out to Cher Brownback if you have additional questions or would like to get involved!
classroom volunteers
If you are interested in volunteering in your child’s classroom, please be sure to contact your teacher as she may have opportunities.
If you are interested in volunteering in more of a general way (in a different classroom than your child, in one of the specials rooms, etc.), please contact Cher Brownback with PTA for assistance in finding an opportunity that fits your interests! You do not need to be MVP certified to volunteer and assist teachers or students in a classroom. You do need to be MVP certified to directly supervise students without a Trailwood staff member present (such as by providing small group support in the hallway).
Thank you for your consideration!
BECOME AN MVP and make a difference
We hope you'll consider becoming an MVP this year! This designation is given to adult volunteers in SMSD who would like the opportunity to work with/supervise kids on their own. These relationships are positively powerful for the child (and the adult), and we can always use people to serve in this role!
For more information on the MVP program, please use the link below.
cafeteria volunteers needed
Whether you can help a little or a lot, we’d love to have you as a cafeteria volunteer this school year! Your time commitment is only one hour, but it makes a huge difference for our students and staff. Responsibilities include opening drinks and food packages and assisting our lunchroom aides.
Together, we can create a positive mealtime experience for all! Sign up at the link below!
dining partners
We are so grateful to our many community partners for their commitment to Trailwood Elementary! Enjoy some yummy food, support our generous community sponsors and give back to Trailwood - all at the same time! Mention Trailwood Elementary when you check out!
Be on the lookout for dining partner events coming up soon!
wingman program
Calling all Trailwood dads and father figures!
Please consider taking a half-day or full-day out of your busy schedules and spending some time in your child's classroom as a Wingman! This is a great opportunity to interact with the kids and see what they do every day! Your schedule will vary depending on the needs of the day, but you can plan on spending most of your day with your kiddo(s) in the classroom, on the playground or at specials.
Volunteers can choose the dates and times (half-days or full-days) and can float between classrooms (if more than one child is attending Trailwood). Sign up at the link below.
Please contact Leif Peterson with any questions.
