Volunteer

There are many ways that parents, grandparents and even students can volunteer throughout the year!

The Back to School Handbook includes a section titled "Volunteer Opportunities" with a list of committees, fundraisers, programs and events as well as a description of how many volunteers are needed.

As you will see, the opportunities range from trimming/counting Box Tops, baking brownies, taking photographs for the yearbooks and chairpersons for events such as the Fashion Republic and Transportation Appreciation. Whether you give an hour of your time from your own home or are able to assist with an event at school, any and all help is welcome!

Current Volunteer Opportunities

Talent Show: Volunteers are needed to help organize performers backstage the nights of the rehearsals and shows (check them in, line them up in order). The night of the shows, volunteers are also needed to work the doors into the gym, to limit the flow of traffic. We also need people to hand out programs before the shows and distribute certificates to the performers at the end of the shows. If you have a child(ren) performing in the show, you would still be able to watch your children perform or you could consider helping with the other show. To volunteer, please contact Anita Mills at neets@comcast.net or 535-2112.

HTS School Store: Volunteers are always needed for the HTS School Store to help kids shop. You can just show up during school store hours (10:45am-1:30pm). Moms, dads, grandparents welcome! Any questions, contact Nicole Olsen at nolsen0316@yahoo.com or 478-0881.

To set out already sorted books by category. Setup will take place at both schools on March 23 in the afternoon. This should take 15-20 minutes.
