Volunteering - Your support is needed!

Volunteering at your child’s school is a wonderful way to be involved in your child’s educa-

tion. If you would like to be a volunteer, please complete the form below and return it to your

child’s classroom teacher. All new volunteers working with children must undergo an R.C.M.P. and

a Child Abuse Registry check. These forms are available in the school office. We appreciate your

support! Parents are encouraged to support school programs by volunteering. An hour of your time

makes a BIG difference to our children. If we don’t have volunteers, these programs cannot operate.

Please feel free to volunteer in the following areas:

[ ] Breakfast Program (Monday/Thursday/Friday - 7:20-8:15 a.m.)

[ ] Library (Thursday-morning or afternoon or both)

[ ] Hot Lunch Program (Wednesday - 10:30 - 12:15)
