What can I do?
Parents may satisfy their volunteer hours in a variety of ways. There are dozens of jobs to be done choose the one that fits your interest and expertise. Helping out with hot lunch, playground supervision, assisting in the office, are examples of what parents may do. Parents should check with the office to find out what is needed.
