PTF Events

Check out the events below to see how you can get involved! 

Homeroom Parent(s)

The homeroom parent helps the teacher throughout the year with different tasks. Some of those tasks involve helping the teacher in planning school parties, communicating with parents from that specific class and any other things the teacher may ask. There are typically two homeroom parents per classroom.

Grandparents Day

Grandparents day is a time where all students get to invite their grandparents (or someone special to them) to join them at school for a few hours. They get to see all the fun things the kids are doing in the classroom and attend chapel with their grandchildren.

Thunder Power Reading Hour

A night of fun with a dad or a grandparent! You pick different books you want to listen to that are read by people from the community! Each room is decorated according to the book and even the reader is dressed in character.

Sip n Serve

Offered every Friday morning after drop off. Come and go as you please. Join other moms, dads, and grandparents in serving the Grand View teachers and staff. Laminating, cutting, copying, stapling, and pasting are a few examples of the projects. Great opportunity to meet other families and to be a blessing to our teachers!

Book Fair

Offered two times a year. Volunteers are needed for setting up, tearing down, and working the register. Great opportunity to meet other families that are working alongside you, as well as those coming through the book fair.

Open House

An event held towards the end of the school year that allows families to observe all the wonderful things your child has been working on and provides an opportunity to mingle with other Grand View families. Volunteers are needed for set up, tear down, serving food, and monitoring the bounce houses.

Dine to Donates

Dine to Donates are dinners that are sponsored by different restaurants throughout the year and a portion of the sales are given back to our school. Our Middle School students serve and bus tables for the ones held at Pizza Ranch.

School Supply Packs

These are pre-ordered school supplies that are available to order at the end of each school year for the next year. They arrive shrink wrapped and ready for your student by orientation. We need help with sorting and delivering them to classrooms.

Birthday Gifts

The PTF assembles small gifts for the teachers and staff for their birthday. We would love help assembling and delivering them.

Teacher Appreciation Week

The first full week of May we plan a breakfast or lunch and some small snacks for our teachers. We also make sure that our nurses and administrative assistants do not go unnoticed during their special days.

Conference Meals

We organize meals for the teachers and office staff to have during their long days for conferences in October and March.
