Recurring Daytime Volunteer Opportunities

Workroom: Workroom volunteers head to the workroom and look for teacher's baskets with jobs to be completed.  Jobs can range from copying and sorting, to paper cutting, tracing or project prep for some of our younger kiddo's classes.  This is a huge help to our teachers and allows them to spend more of their time focusing on their students. Signup links will come out during the Fall. Please sign up here if you would like to be placed on the email list. 

Library Helpers: Volunteers are needed in the library for 1st-3rd graders during their LTL class and checkout times. When volunteers are not helping students find books to check out, we would ask them to be a “second set of hands” for certain class activities or to help us with a variety of operational/day-to-day needs in the library. A variety of 45 minute slots are available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Signup links will come out during the Fall. Please sign up here if you would like to be placed on the email list.
