Volunteer Opportunities

Each classroom is in need of a room parent. This person would be the main line of communication between the teacher and the rest of the volunteers.

You may sign up on the sheets provided for any volunteer opportunities. We appreciate any kind of help in the classroom or even taking home projects for us.
