Something’s Fishy at BF Day…

And we need your help! We’re looking for volunteers to help with our Salmon in the Schools program. You’ll help maintain the tank and guide our students as they rear salmon from eggs to fry to release in a local waterway.
No prior experience is necessary, and schedules are flexible during or right after the school day. You will need to be cleared as an in school volunteer. Detailed information on responsibilities here. Reach out to vicepresident@bfdayptsa.org to volunteer!

  • Organize and support the after school enrichment program
  • Fund and support the Jumpstart program for Kindergarten
