 Office VolunteersDo you enjoy meeting new people? If so, we would love to have your help as an office volunteer. Our volunteers help the office staff primarily by working at the front counter, which includes assisting students and parents with checking in and out of school. Thank you to those who are already helping out. The office staff appreciates your help more than you know! We are always looking for more volunteers—whether you would like to volunteer once a week, occasionally as a fill-in, or somewhere in between.
If you are interested in becoming an office volunteer or just finding out more information, please contact Deana Ridge at 693-5116 or deanaridge@gmail.com.
