Please take a moment to let us know where you would be interested in helping support our school! Fill out our Volunteer Opportunities Form for PTO for more information about volunteer opportunities, or simply to join our mailing list.

You can view many existing volunteer needs below. Also, if you have any new ideas for ways to volunteer or events for the school, please reach out via email: lesptopanthers@gmail.com.

Visit Help at School and make sure “Louisville Elementary School” is selected to view all the current volunteer opportunities in your child’s classroom and for school-wide events. Complete your annual background screening, and you’re good to go for the year. If the cost of the background check is a barrier to volunteering, please contact us at lesptopanthers@gmail.com for confidential assistance.

Garden to Table  The LES garden team works directly with teachers and students to implement fall and spring lessons for each classroom in our seasonal vegetable garden.  During lessons students plant, harvest, and sample a wide variety of fresh organic produce.  In addition, they help prepare the garden for upcoming seasons.  Volunteers are needed to join the LES Garden Leads in coordinating lessons with teachers, assist students as they tend the garden during school hours, or help care for the garden during summer break.  No garden experience necessary!
