Volunteer Needs
Join the general volunteer list; you will be notified throughout the year as needs arise. Don't have a lot of time? That's okay. Volunteering is not always limited to time during school hours. Donations of food items, skills and services are sometimes required. Volunteers make the difference. Get on the list by contacting Myrna Sitrin.
Please note: In the interest of safety and security, volunteers need to comply with the volunteer guidelines established by the district. By signing up to volunteer, you are stating that you have read and agree to the guidelines.
