Get Involved with 'Help Wanted' Ads

  • HELP WANTED ADS are emailed and/or posted in the school lobby. We gather requests from teachers, school administrators and our committees and post the needs.  Our requests could be for new playground equipment to volunteers for scooping ice cream at the Ice Cream social; from bringing a food item for conference week to leading a committee.  Respond to openings that fit your schedule and interests. We have something for everyone; one-time only, on-going, special projects!  We don't have everyone's emails so if you do not get the Help Wanted ads via email, email paxson.volunteer@gmail.com today!

Safety Committee

  • INTERESTED IN SAFETY AT PAXSON?  The Paxson Safety Committee is comprised of Paxson community, including parents, grandparents, guardians, volunteers and staff.  This is a forum for ideas and problem solving! A place where any Paxson community member with any concern for safety in and around Paxson can bring ideas and then work with other members of the Paxson community to solve concerns for safety. We want to support the Paxson staff with the existing safety measures/recommendations by learning what they are. We want to encourage students- our children and others- to maintain those safety measures/recommendations before, during and after school. We invite you via occasional meetings, phone, or email to keep connected. Get in touch with Carin Hansen at cpugh99@hotmail.com for more information.
