We love our volunteers! Please contact Dan Hurley if you have any interest in volunteer opportunities. [email protected]
RECESS DUTY We have a need forregular recess volunteers We ask for a weekly commitment throughout the school year, same day of the week each week, and we have four openings: 11:15 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. Monday through Friday. This is a perfect opportunity for a stay-at-home mom or dad, folks still working remotely during the pandemic, or active retirees who are not snowbirds.
ANNUAL EVENT COMMITTEES We humbly and gratefully rely on the efforts of volunteer committees to successfully run our larger annual events each year, including our Marathon, Santa's Workshop, and Gala. Committees made up of functional chairpeople (think: decor, solicitation, food & drink) meet regularly (monthly, then more frequently closer to each event). If you have a specific talent to share or simply enjoy being a part of the fun events, we would love to have you join a group!
ONE-UP VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES We know every family's situation is different, and sometimes committees or regular hours are hard commitments to make. Have no fear, we still want you here! Your individual classroom ambassador and/or teacher likely will have needs that you can fill more sporadically. Often teachers welcome professional presentations that pertain to your day-to-day work (i.e. a nurse giving a presentation on healthy habits, an engineer stopping in to one of our STEM classes, etc.). We also are excited to bring back field trips, which often require parental help. Then there are smaller "boots on the ground" efforts that help make our school events go, helping kids speak at Masses, serving food or drink at an open house, helping at the Used Uniform Sale, or many others.
The first step for all of our volunteering opportunities is to ensure you are registered and up-to-date on your Safe Environment training, a prerequisite for all adults who work with kids in our Catholic School System here in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Please contact Kay Wimer ([email protected])to check your status and/or get the process started. Important: You will not be able to volunteer, even on a field trip, until you have completed the requisite online training, put forth by VIRTUS and McDowell Agency.
