Volunteering at the School in 2013/14

Parents make a huge impact at the school… and ALL parent contributions of time, talent and skills are appreciated.  Whether you can volunteer a couple of hours next year or wish to volunteer regularly and lead some initiatives – there are many ways to get involved.  Have a look at our committee pages and see what may be of interest to you… and then GET INVOLVED! All committees are grateful when new parents wish to get involved!

Perfect Summer Volunteer Opportunity for the Whole Family!

Our schoolyard is quite an amazing place.  With so many unique gardens that function as outdoor classrooms for our children, our yard requires some tender loving care over the summer in order to be able to thrive!

The Yard Committee is asking families to please sign up for a week in the summer when your family would take responsibility for a particular area and ensure it is watered appropriately during that week.  This is a GREAT WAY for children to volunteer and make a direct impact at the school and a wonderful way to spend some quality time together as a family.  If you are interested in volunteering to help with watering this summer, please contact Sarah Frame.
