VOLUNTEER
Our goal is to connect as many people (parents, extended family, older siblings, community leaders, etc.) who want to be engaged with our school with opportunities that fit their interest, skills and schedules. There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities each year – everything from a one-time volunteer role at an event to a year-long leadership position to everything in between.
Check out the list below, and if you'd like to learn more contact the chairperson listed or reach out PTA Co-President Gwen Hughes with questions. Sign-ups for volunteer shifts at events, such as Bingo Night or International Night, will be published here but also on the Cubby Connects Facebook page and in the Weekly Paws e-newsletter.
