PARENTS AND COMMUNITY . . . WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The #1 predictor of a child's success in school is parental involvement. Your public schools can use your help even if only for one day during the school year. Volunteer opportunities are available on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, seasonal, semiannual and annual basis.
