Picnic Pops Volunteer Opportunities

Picnic PopsPicnic Pops – a wonderful family event showcasing music performed by our talented kids – will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2012 (rain or shine!) at Pioneer High School from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

In addition to the music, Picnic Pops features many fun games (e.g., the Moon Walk, the popular Cake Walk, etc.) and an assortment of good food! The theme for the 2012 cake decorating contest is "Bands on Fire!"

Every year we need donations of 2-liter pop bottles and cakes, cookies or cupcakes. Here's how it works this year.

VOLUNTEERING: We’ve made an online signup for all three schools so that you can choose how you would like to help out this year. To make all this happen, we need each high school family to contribute three hours of time, split between adults and kids. We need help with ticket sales and volunteer coordination, cooking and serving food, and running the cakewalk and all carnival games.

POP DONATIONS: Every student is required to donate two 2-lliter bottles of name brand pop for the ring toss game. You must either bring those to the Pioneer band room by 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 18; or bring them to Picnic Pops on Saturday, May 19, and drop them off at the ring toss game at Pioneer. (look for the balloons)

CAKE WALK: We need donations of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, or muffins for the cake walk. One donation of this item can count toward one hour of your family’s three-hour volunteer commitment. Please bring your baked good item(s) on disposable plates or pans, wrapped, to the Cake Walk at Picnic Pops on May 19th and look for the balloons. (Please sign in when you drop off your baked good donation so Mr. Leach can give you credit for this.)

Picnic Pops is possible only through the generosity of parents AND high school students who volunteer their time to supervise games, serve food, sell tickets, etc. We hope that you (and your high school-age children) will volunteer time to make this a successful and enjoyable event. Students may be allowed to work 1-hour shifts, at the discretion of the coordinators.

Volunteers are needed to work on promotion, food, beverages, setting up the concert area, putting up and taking down tents, etc. If it rains, this event moves indoors, which again takes lots of warm bodies to make it happen.

You can sign up for your preferred time slot using our online volunteer form.

Thank you for volunteering!!!
