Volunteer Needs
While Konstella is the most accurate and timely source of volunteer needs, we’ve listed a few priority opportunities below.
-
PTA Swag Manager
Do you like apparel and have an eye for graphic design? The PTA is looking for a Swag Manager (or Managers!) to help fulfill online orders, manage inventory, design new swag, and build school spirit/culture! This is a great volunteer role to do on your own or share with a friend. Email pta.hydeaddison@gmail.com for more info.

Watering Our New Gardens
Consistent watering is essential to help keep our garden thriving during D.C.’s warmer months. To assist with this we’ve set up a simple watering system—and we could use your help!
💧 You’ll see upside-down glass bottles in terracotta stakes near the base of larger plants. These slowly release water near the roots when the soil is dry.
🌞If you’re on the playground or nearby, please help by refilling any bottles that look low or are empty. You can use the playground water fountain.
⚠️ Please do not move or push on the stakes with bottles in place. Both the glass and terracotta are fragile and can break easily.
✅ Overwatering isn’t a concern—so feel free to give plants a little extra if you’re unsure.
🌸 In addition to the raised flowerbeds near the school entrance, don’t forget about the hydrangeas by the retaining wall near the large tree and climbing structure and our little O St. full-sun garden in the corner. They need love too!
Thank you for being part of this community effort to keep our garden happy and healthy over the summer and warmer months!

BTS Supply Sale Classroom Distribution
As you’ve likely heard, for the past 4 years we’ve hosted a Supply Sale fundraiser where the PTA does all of your classroom back-to-school shopping and delivers the items to your child’s classroom before the first day of school.
Now it’s time to get those supplies into the classrooms and we need your help! On Wednesday, August 20th the PTA will be hosting a supply sale classroom distribution event and we need as many willing volunteers (including students!) as possible to help this run smoothly.
To sign up as a volunteer, please register on Konstella!
