Volunteering

St. Joseph Regional School
Volunteer Program

Successful school volunteer programs consist of individuals dedicated to improving education for all students. A volunteer becomes involved to benefit the children, share knowledge, and provide a service to the community.

Here at St. Joseph School we need and rely on volunteers in several areas:

• Tricky Tray – Solicitation, running, spotting, set-up, clean-up, etc.
• Christmas Bazaar – Bake table, kitchen, setting-up, cleaning-up – A great way to get into the holiday spirit.
• Dinner Dance/Auction – Solicit for the silent auction, class conations, set-up, etc.
• Homeroom Parent – Help coordinate different activities in the classroom, i.e., parties, refreshments for H&S meetings, etc.
• Coordinators/Committee Members – We need volunteers to organize some of our school activities/fund raisers.
  • Tuition Raffle
  • Mission Day
  • H&S Newsletter
  • Publicity Committee
  • Technology Committee
  • Catholic Schools Week Committee

There are also several ways you can help during the school day.

• Lunch Duty – Our greatest need – (From 11:25am – 12:45pm). Watch children on the playground (or in the classroom on inclement weather days), help to open milk cartons or water bottles while children are eating, clean up tables between lunches.
• Photocopying – Run off and collate papers for the teachers and/or the office.
• Library Aide – Assist the Librarian – Tue. and/or Thu.
• Communication Envelopes – Help to stuff the communication envelopes on Wednesday morning.
• Basketball (Grades 3-8) – Coaches are needed for the boys’ and girls’ teams. We also need help in the Kitchen/Snack Bar during the games.
• After School Activities Clubs – Please call the office with any suggestions you may have for new activities or clubs.

To date we have the following:

• Chess
• Karate
• Dance (Grades 5-8)
• Girl Scouts
• Boy Scouts
• S.T.O.P.
• School Newspaper

The only major requirement for becoming a school volunteer is a commitment of time. A businessman who comes to the school for a single session to talk about a particular topic is just as committed as the parent who volunteers on a weekly basis to help in the library. Each is dedicated to helping students and is willing to set aside time to do so.

It is easy to become a school volunteer. Your skills, enthusiasm, and time can make a difference in the programs that can be offered at the school. Everyone has something valuable to share, so show your support by becoming a volunteer.

Volunteer forms will be sent home so that all volunteers can let us know what duties they wish to perform and what days they are available.

Thank you for your support and consideration,
