Volunteer

We need your help!

We could not do what we do without our parent volunteers! Thanks to the amazing volunteers at Barnsley Elementary, the PTA is able to host many events and activities and provide daily support to the school. No matter what your interests, talents, or available time, there is a volunteer opportunity that can work for you. Whether you can lend an hour or two per year at a community event or school activity, a few hours a month as a grade liaison, or more time chairing a committee or event, we can help you find an opportunity that will make a difference for our students.

We also frequently have opportunities for MCPS students in grades 6-12 to earn Student Service Learning (SSL) hours by volunteering to help with events. If your middle or high school student is interested, please reach out.

Our photographers can’t be everywhere. Help us get as many photos as possible to create a terrific book everyone will want to have! Here is how you can submit photos:
