Volunteer Opportunities
Teacher Volunteer Support Committee

The teacher support committee has identified that making copies for teachers would be helpful, but before we can come up with a plan, we need to know how many volunteers are interested in helping with this task. The general plan as of now is to do grade level copies one day a week and magnet copies on one or two more days. As of now, we need to see what our volunteer capacity is and make a plan from there. Copies will be made on flexible schedules from 9:30am to 4pm. If you think you can volunteer on a semi-regular day of the week, please indicate that on the form. Click HERE to sign up to help!

If you have any questions, please email amanda.sorena@sorenapr.com. All volunteers must be VIPS approved.
