Thank you for your willingness to give of your time and talent to
serve as a volunteer in our schools. Your personal commitment provides
our students with a valuable role model of responsible citizenship, and
impacts student achievement in a positive way, whether directly or
indirectly.
National research shows that it is important for our youth to have
at least three non-parent adults whom they can trust. Without this adult
support, young people are more likely to engage in risk-taking
behaviors. With your help, our young people can overcome adversity,
succeed in school, and become community leaders.
Volunteers are a much appreciated and highly respected group of
people who make up a very important part of our educational team. The
educators and staff have witnessed first hand the magic of volunteer
partnerships between our community and its schools. Volunteers can read
to students, tutor in a particular subject area, work in the library,
or assist with special events. There is almost no end to opportunities
as a volunteer.
