Fundraising cannot be accomplished without the committed efforts of
parent volunteers, who are needed to photocopy forms, hand out pizza
and count money, among other tasks.
Being a council volunteer doesn’t need to be a huge time commitment – it
can take as little as a few HOURS a YEAR.
Council meetings are open to ALL PARENTS – come to one meeting, or
attend them all. Find out what it’s all about! Get involved!
