Community Club
Dear MTZ Elementary Families,
The Community Club board would like to welcome all new and returning students and families back to school. As we gear up for another exciting and enriching year at our schools, we would like to extend a warm invitation to all of you to become an essential part of the Community Club.
What is Community Club & Who Can Join?
The Mt. Zion Elementary Community Club is an organization of dedicated parents and teachers of Mt. Zion Elementary School students (Pre-K through 6th Grade). Our primary objective as a Community Club is to foster a supporting and thriving community within each school through assisting teachers and building staff with projects, volunteering within the schools, and hosting events that fundraise for the direct benefit of every elementary school child.
Community Club Activities, Events & Fundraisers
The Community Club hosts several events and fundraisers throughout the year to raise funds that impact the students attending Mt. Zion Elementary Schools. These events include the Back to School Bash, Mother/Son Event, Father/Daughter Dance, Spring Fling, Teacher Appreciation Week, Book Fairs, Play Day, and more! These events provide fun, family-friendly activities for students to enjoy with their families while also raising funds for the schools. The funds raised through Community Club activities and events are used to support Community Club initiatives and often given back to the schools to utilize for new equipment and/or supplies.
Become a Volunteer – Why YOU Should Get Involved
We understand that juggling work, family and personal commitments can be quite time-consuming, but we believe that every small contribution can make a significant impact. We welcome any level of commitment you can offer. The Community Club operates with a small board and your help is greatly appreciated to ensure each event and fundraiser is successful. Whether you prefer to assist in planning, setting up, or even hosting a station during an event, every contribution counts, and we value each one of them.
Participating in the Community Club not only supports our elementary students & teachers, but it also allows you to form connections and friendships with other parents, teachers and staff who all share a common goal of nurturing a positive learning environment for our students. If you are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities, please complete the volunteer sign-up form and/or reach out to us at the email below.
Thank you!
