Lockwood Schools PTA in Billings, Montana

Below is a list of some of the great projects that the Lockwood PTA Supports:

School Pictures (day/fall & spring | largest fundraiser)
Volunteers are needed to work with photographers to prepare the kids for pictures. Volunteers can work a morning shift, afternoon shift or a full day shift. Photos are taken by Lifetouch Photography.
Saturday Live (day/fundraiser)
This event is held on a Saturday in September at Pioneer Park. Volunteers can work the day shift or donate a few hours. Volunteers run the games at the Lockwood PTA booth and hand out prizes.
Health Screening (day/fall vision & spring hearing)
Volunteers assist the school nurse in checking students' eyes and hearing. This event is held twice during the school year in the fall and in the spring. Volunteer time is needed.
Halloween Party & Middle School Dance (night)
This party is held Halloween night for two hours. At this event participants are charged a nonperishable item for admittance, with these items going to Lockwood families in need. Donations of cupcakes, cakes, candy, and treats are needed for games and treat bags. Volunteers bag the candy, hand out candy, set up and run games, supervise the night, and clean up. This project is a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club. The dance for Middle School students takes place at the same time in the old Middle School gym. Treats, drinks, and volunteers to help chaperone the dance are needed.
Food, Clothing and Toy Drive (day/night) October to mid-December
This is our biggest community event. This partners with the PTA, the school, local businesses and families. The food is collected starting at the Halloween party and from families and businesses for the food baskets. The toys are donated from the students of Lockwood and money raised and donated is used by students to purchase toys that children request. The clothing is purchased from donations from families and business and the PTA to fulfill family requests such as coats, mittens, pants and socks. This entire event could not be successful without the entire communities support. This is a Lockwood Event for families in need!
Silent Auction (night/fundraiser)
This event is held in December with the Family Resource Center for Family Fun Night. Donated items are needed that can range from gift certificates, electronic items, bikes, crafts, quilts and baked goods. Volunteers are needed to help set up auction items, help customers shop, cash out highest bidders, and clean up.
Basketball Fund Raiser (night/fundraiser)
This Basketball fund raiser is held in conjunction with the Athletic and Activities department and will take place in February. Volunteers are needed to help run the night's activities.See the 2003 game here!
Book Fair (one of the biggest fund raisers of the year)
The Book Fair is held in the spring. It allows students to view books and purchase them at school. Volunteers help set up book displays, assist children in finding books, collect money and make change. The book fair is held in March.
Teacher Appreciation Week (daytime)
This event will be held in May. A luncheon is given for all the teachers to thank them for all their help. Volunteers are needed to make salads and desserts and bring them to the school.
Lockwood Kids Safety Day (Saturday in May)
