Volunteers and Parent Involvement
We welcome the assistance of parents and caregivers in all our school endeavors; for our classroom programs, as field trip supervisors or drivers, to help at sports days, to help with special events, etc. Many of our activities would not be able to happen without the help of volunteers. Thank you for your support!
