The opportunities for volunteering at St. John School are vast and varied. Your enthusiastic volunteerism enables us to keep operating costs low and is a wonderful way for parents to connect to the community. We ask parents/guardians to strive towards the yearly goal of 40 hours per two-parent family and 20 hours per one-parent family. We welcome grandparents, extended family, parishioners, neighbors and special friends of St. John to volunteer as well. Thank you to all who have already signed up! Current opportunities for volunteerism are:
New Uniform Coordinator: We are looking for one or two parents to help coordinate the spirit gear, sport and uniform store. More information can be found here. Please contact Jonna Skokan jskokan@st-johnschool.org if you are interested.
Hot Lunch Program: St. John is able to provide high-quality meals due largely to the support of our volunteers. Join the kitchen crew and enjoy good company and good food! A Food Workers card is required to work in the lunchroom. Contact David Benefiel, dbenefiel@st-johnschool.org, to join the team.
Playground Monitor: We are looking for volunteers to assist with playground monitoring during recess. Your participation helps keep our students safe! Contact Melissa Heron, myanik1@msn.com, if you can volunteer.
Parent Association: PA teams for each grade level continue to form, and we are still looking to fill some roles. Check out the descriptions of the roles that support each grade and sign up here. Questions? Contact PA Chairs Rachael Groark or Maile Sullivan, Parent_Association@st-johnschool.org.
Back to School BBQ: We need volunteers to make the Back to School BBQ a great experience for all. Volunteer opportunities are provided in shifts, so you can help out and enjoy the event. Sign up to volunteer here. Thank you!
Jog-a-thon: We are back to a one-day Jog event, and we need plenty of volunteers to help this event run smoothly. Please sign up here!
Be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities throughout the year. They will be posted in NewsViews or sent to parents via teacher emails or room parent emails.
