The only major requirement for
becoming a school volunteer is a commitment of time. A
businessman who comes to the school for a single session to talk
about a particular topic is just as committed as the parent who
volunteers on a weekly basis to help in the library. each is
dedicated to helping students and is willing to set aside time to do
so.
It is easy to become a school
volunteer. Your skills, enthusiasm, and time can make a
difference in the programs that can be offered at the school.
Everyone has something valuable to share, so show your support by
becoming a volunteer.
Volunteer forms will be sent home so
that all volunteers can let us know what duties they wish to perform
and what days they are available.
Thank you for your support and
consideration,
Jo-Ann M. Higgs
Principal
