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!
