🍿Staff Appreciation Snack Cart
Help fill the teacher/ staff snack cart! Drop off non-perishable food items in the front office. The snack cart is a simple, yet powerful, way to show our teacher and staff how much we appreciate all that they do. Feedback from staff about the snack cart has been glowing!
Volunteering with the PTA allows our community to continue to do the important work of supporting our teachers, our students, and all of Happy Valley Elementary! We need folks like you to help! There are always many ways to support from being hands-on at events to acting behind the scenes. The role that the PTA plays is vital to the school and the role you can play is vital to the PTA!

PTA Leaders for 2026-27
PTA Leadership Needed for 2026-27!
Have you enjoyed all the wonderful offerings our PTA makes possible at school, such as the Free Book Fair, school musical, glow dance, game night, fitness night, field trips, afterschool enrichment opportunities, and other family nights? To make sure our work continues, we must have some talented folks raise their hands for a PTA leadership position for next year! The Nominating Committee is currently accepting candidate submissions for President, VP, and Secretary. Board positions will be elected on May 29th during the PTA General Meeting (6:30 - 8pm). There is a lot of support provided for training into these roles, and you would be coming into a strong, award-winning parent organization. If you are interested in learning more, contact the Nominating Committee.
All volunteers need to complete a Background Check Application through Bellingham School District in order to volunteer in any capacity, including the classroom, as an enrichment chaperone, chaperoning a field trip, or supporting other school functions.
Applications must be renewed every two years. Update your info or check your status here!
