Committees

There are many ways to get involved!

Fundraising - Our fundraising committee reviews and evaluates all our present and future PTG funded programs and fundraising efforts, that will best meet our needs and goals.

Hospitality – Hospitality is responsible for coordinating refreshments at all PTG monthly general meetings.  A group, called the “Baker’s Dozen”, will form to support PTG fundraisers and special events.  Hospitality will also communicate all special correspondence when needed.

Membership - By becoming a PTG member, you can help to sponsor enrichment programs in the school and assist in purchasing equipment and learning materials for our children.  The annual membership cost is $15.00 per family.  Please complete and return the membership envelope to your child’s school and receive your “School Year Events Calendar”.  We appreciate and thank you for your support of the Bedford PTG.

Room Parent Program – Teachers request one or more room parents to assist with parties and special projects.  The PTG uses room parents to help contact class parents for special events and support.

Grandparents’ Day/Senior Citizens’ Day – Grandparents and seniors of the community are invited to a luncheon and a special tour and entertainment at each school.

Volunteer Program – School volunteers are matched to teacher-requested jobs throughout the school year.  No experience is needed and training is provided.  These volunteers may be asked to volunteer one time, once a week or once a month.  All volunteers have contributed to our successive Blue Ribbon Awards throughout our elementary and middle schools.

Bedford High School Volunteer Information

The Bedford Parent Teacher Group (PTG) was developed several years ago to create a working partnership with parents, teachers and school administration.  Its intent is to foster a cooperative, as well as, an enriched learning environment for the students of the Bedford School District.  Throughout the year, there are a number of opportunities available to parents who would like to be involved in supporting the programs sponsored by the PTG.  There is a great group of people who currently share their time and energy continuing our mission.  We could use your help.

For current volunteer opportunities, check with the Volunteer Coordinator in your school…
