ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES

MEMBERSHIP & SUPPORT

FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE

Are you looking for an exciting way to help the school? Are you organized, thorough, and creative? Do you like working with others? Whether you have experience in fundraising, or just have a desire to make a difference at Woodgrove High School, the PTSO needs Fundraising Committee members! You would be working with a team of committed individuals to plan, guide, and direct the fundraising needed to allow us to provide the funding needed to Grow the Grove.

HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE

Are you a social person who likes to organize celebrations and plan events? Do you have skills and experience in the area of hospitality? Put your skills to use for the benefit of our school! Woodgrove High School PTSO is looking for parents to join our team and help make the school a welcoming place for parents, teachers and students.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

Why is parent involvement so important in high school? Because studies clearly show that parent involvement is good for your child. Membership is the heart of the PTSO. As a member of the Membership Committee you'll help parents answer the question, "What's in it for me?" Membership is not really about the PTSO -- it's about how the members can support the school and the students. You will help guide and direct the Membership Committee in a successful membership campaign, reach out to parents and “market” the PTSO, and help parents find ways to ensure involvement can fit into their busy schedules.

VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE

As a member of the Volunteer Committee, you will help recruit and retain volunteers for school events and Western Loudoun community organization activities.

CLASS OF 2025

SENIOR CELEBRATIONS COMMITTEE

Are you a Senior or Parent of a Senior? Do you like to plan and coordinate? This committee will spearhead the planning and fundraising for the After Graduation Party for this year’s graduating class.

SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE

Love to read? The scholarship committee is looking for parent volunteers to help read and score applications for our PTSO scholarships. This committee is active in the late third to early fourth quarter of the school year, with limited time period for application review. This committee will coordinate with the PTSO Executive Board to award students with one-time monetary awards. No senior parents, please.

TECHNOLOGY & COMMUNICATIONS

WEB & SOCIAL MEDIA COMMITTEE

As a committee member you'll learn how to effectively use technology and social media to communicate effectively with families to support our school and Western Loudoun community news and events. Communication is the critical link between school and families, and the PTSO aims helps bridge the"information gap" by providing updates quickly across multiple platforms.

WOODGROVE WEEKLY COMMITTEE

Are you "in the know" about the Woodgrove and Western Loudoun communities? The PTSO is looking for parents and students interested in sharing current happenings, student achievements, upcoming events, and other opportunities through our e-newsletter, the Woodgrove Weekly. Volunteers assist with graphic design, curating information and opportunities, copywriting, editing, and planning this weekly publication for PTSO members.

SPECIAL COMMITTEES
