How to Earn Volunteer Hours

We primarily serve our great school in two ways: through fundraising and great family events.  We have several fundraisers throughout the school year.  These funds provide much needed supplies for our school, such as books for our classrooms and Media Center (library), new kitchen equipment, playground equipment, computers, computer software, Teacher Appreciation Week, science laboratory supplies, Student of the Month, furniture and shelving around the school, the Summer Work Reward Parties, and much, much, more.
