In Person Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering doesn't have to mean being in charge. Often, just being able to give an hour once in a while or donating supplies will ensure the success of our activities.

Our fundraising events for the year include:

• Fall Read-a-Thon - This is our biggest fundraiser for the year and new to the school this year. We want to make this a great success for the school while encouraging students to read.
• Trunk or Treat - This is a community event where children can safely trick or treat at decorated vehicles in our school parking lot.
• Staff Experiences - Staff will offer different experiences that students can try to win. 
• Restaurant Nights - We regularly schedule evening events at restaurants within the Parker area. A small portion of the proceeds for the evening are given back to our school.
• Donuts for Dads/Muffins for Moms - We love to honor our moms and dads! This is a community event where moms and dads are invited to join us for breakfast with their students.
• Book Fair - We hold two book fairs during the year to support funding for our school's literacy needs. These take place in the fall and spring.
• School Supply Orders - We offer our community the opportunity to purchase pre-packaged school supplies for a fee. A portion of the purchase price of these kits is returned to the school.
• Movie Nights - Students and families are invited to join us to see age-appropriate movies in a safe environment.
