VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Home & School Association: Our HSA needs you! Our Home & School Association (HSA) oversees fundraising and social activities at school such as the Dress Down Pass sales, New Family Ice Cream Social, Dine Out nights, Trunk or Treat, and the Father/Daughter Dance. We also work together to ensure we have volunteers to help with school projects. We need parents to help fill the HSA positions that will be opening in the next year. Many of our parents have children in 7th and 8th grade and will be leaving the group, so we'd love to bring some new parents aboard to learn the ropes before our veterans head off to help with high schools! Our open positions are: VP Community & School Services shadow, School Commission Liaison, and President Elect for 2020-2021. For additional information, please click here.
