Volunteer Coordinator: Arden Hellman

There are many exciting ways to be involved at OV!  Our OV families are an important part of enhancing the social and academic experiences for our OV students, and each year our families are incredible. The following PTA and School sponsored events promote and add to the sense of community and learning that is so strong here at Olympic View Elementary.  Please consider volunteering.  Here are some of the ways you can be involved.

To volunteer email Arden Hellman at ardenhellmann@comcast.net or call 527-3206.
