Please remember to log your volunteer hours regularly. This year we are giving a volunteer report at each board meeting that includes data about how many volunteers we have, the services they are performing, and how many hours we have accumulated as a community. It is important that all volunteer hours are logged, even after a family completes their required hours (20 hours for single parent homes and 40 hours for two parent households).
|
Mrs. MacFarland is looking for some volunteers who can assist her with various "at school" projects." If you have regular availability, please email her (
mmacfarland@cherrycreekacademy.org
) with the dates and times that you are available. Thank you so much for considering this "at school" volunteer opportunity.
