Volunteer
Why volunteer?
We know you are stretched thin! But why pick your school to volunteer your precious time?
Volunteering at your child's campus may be one of the most important, life-altering things you can ever do for your child. it sends a very clear message to them (and other students for that matter) that you're devoting your most precious commodity — yourself — to something that's important to you — their education. It shows them you support them and their teachers and lets them know that what they do matters to you.
It's all about them
We're talking about our teachers and staff the very teachers and staff who nurture your child everyday throughout the school year. We need your helping hands and smiling faces on our campuses to help lighten the load for our staff giving them more time in the classroom.
We need you!
The number one reason people don't volunteer is because no one asked them. Well, here we are asking for you to be involved! Your time and knowledge is needed and wanted by our staff and students. The diversity of our community and the experiences you can share with our students is valuable to us. Whether it's time from home or on campus, mom, dad or grandparent WE NEED YOU! We could not do it without each of you!
