Calling All Volunteers!

Prune Hill PTA is able to provide so many fun experiences and learning opportunities for our penguins all due to the help of our many dedicated volunteers. From monthly Birthday Table, to Family Fun Nights, Book Fairs, and Run4Fun, none of these things would happen without the many hands that help. There are many occasions for family members of students to volunteer in support of our educators and students at Prune Hill.
