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!

We work for the success of each student learner by supporting their educational, social and emotional journey through various programs, and fundraising to meet the financial needs of these programs.

  • Fund and support hiring of much needed staff, like counselor and support teachers
  • Fund and support targeted social support programs for families of our students
  • Organize and support the after school enrichment program
  • Fund and support the Jumpstart program for Kindergarten
