Want to Help but can’t Commit to the Home and School Committee?
|
Become a ‘Friend of the Committee’!
|
The Home and School Committee is a dedicated group of parents working to enhance our school’s learning environment through fundraising.
|
But you don’t have to be a full-time member to make a difference!
|
We’re looking for ‘Friends of the Committee’—volunteers who can lend a hand throughout the year at various events and activities. Whether you can give a little of your time or a lot, every bit helps!
|
|
The more helpers we have, the lighter the load and the more we can achieve for our kids.
|
Join us in making a positive impact—your support means the world!
|
|
Register your interest at the link below in becoming a 'Friend of the Committee"
|
|
We will then give you a call when events/fundraisers come up to see if you are available.
