MAY NEWSLETTER 2014
Volunteer Hours
The question has been asked….Do my hours really matter? Does anyone “check”? The answer is, YES! Volunteer hours matter very much when we apply for grants, gifts or loans. Philanthropic companies and lenders want to know about parent involvement… what is their investment?” There is an actual dollar value attached to the number of hours served which helps boost the school’s “credit rating.” Volunteer hours matter very much as it is an act of Service. Serving and Giving is one of our five ESLRs. By volunteering, parents are modeling these attributes, following God’s instructions in Galations. And…we do keep a record of hours served and by whom. A service award is presented at graduation, and this record is one of the factors in determining who receives it. So, please, record your hours! If you have found it impossible to get to the record book in the office, then email Janine Ransom ([email protected]) with what you have done and the number of hours completed. Twenty is the minimum that we request from each family, but there is no maximum. So record them all! Thank you!
