There are a number of ways for families to get involved in the Elmbrook Schools through various parent-led organizations that help strengthen our schools and best equip our students to thrive in school and post-graduation. We encourage you to share your time and talents in a number of ways, from PTOs and Booster Clubs to fundraising and community events, there’s a place for everyone!  Becoming a volunteer helps keep our schools, teams, clubs, fine arts, and events successful throughout the district. Volunteering is also a great way to network with fellow families and community members, while building relationships with school and district staff. Serving in a parent-led organization is a rewarding experience that strengthens the fabric of our Elmbrook community.
