One hour of service helps the school go round.
Prep NEEDS Lunch Volunteers!!!
Our lunch program is managed solely by parent volunteers and is the largest fundraiser for our school. All the money raised goes directly back to the school funding many of the activities your student(s) experience. Last year the funds helped outfit the Chemistry Lab. We can only keep the program if we have volunteers to assist in the distribution of food during the lunch hour. We need volunteers for an hour every day from 11:30 to 12:30. It's a wonderful opportunity to see your student(s), meet their friends, and get to know other parents. If everyone gives one hour every semester, we will be able to fulfill our needs.
This year we are conducting a monthly drawing for prizes. Every time you volunteer, you are entered into the drawing. Our August winners are Gina Coletta who has won a $50 Grimaldi's gift card, and Christina Echauarria who wins a $25 Sauce gift card. Thank you to all of our August volunteers! We can't thank you enough.
Please consider signing up and thank you in advance for your support!

The College Counseling program at Cicero Prep Academy is just one of the many programs our school provides our students to support them in their journey to become
great-hearted leaders. In Mrs. Coolidge's words:
"It is exciting to have an opportunity to truly get to know each student over the course of their years at Cicero Prep. My main goal is to help each student discover who they are as learners and emerging adults, so that by their senior year, they are able to confidently apply to colleges that match their unique strengths, goals, and interests. It really is about helping them forge pathways to the next chapter of their lives!"

Your support of our Community Investment campaign allows our school to provide this type of programming for our students. If you've yet to do so, please click the link below to make your gift today. Thank you!
