Volunteer Opportunities - Attached you will find many ideas to fullfill your required volunteer hours for the 2009-2010 school year. Volunteers must be available to follow instructions given by the teacher and focus all of their attention on the students or task at hand. Thus, arrangements should be made for younger children to be cared for at home. Visiting the school for events and activities is different than volunteering. Parents are welcome to bring younger children to school to watch plays, parades, celebrations, etc. These "visits" do not earn volunteer time.
Parent Volunteer Co-op: The Parent Volunteer Co-Op is a collaborative effort of SMCA parents focused on fostering the success of our school and its projects. Please watch for announcements on SIS to find out how you can become involved as an active parent and make a difference for our students.
