Get Involved...HVES relies on Parent Volunteers
Finding time to devote to your child's school can be a real challenge, but there are so many ways that you can lend a hand. Please consider volunteering at the school — there will be many opportunities, and it pays for itself in smiles from happy students and teachers.
We were so impressed with Tim Croft's use of Sign Up Genius for the Staff Appreciation Breakfast, that we are going to try using this system for the various functions at HVES. Take a look at the forms- it makes it easy to see what is needed and how many helping hands we need.
Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Holly Rothrock, to learn about all the opportunities to get involved. Large projects or small, they all make a HUGE difference. Learn more....
