This year, early childhood-8th grade families will be expected to volunteer for at least 5 hours throughout the school year. Any combination of parents, grandparents, even extended family members, is welcome to participate in fulfilling this goal/expectation.
Below is a list of volunteer opportunities for you to participate in. Please print out and return this form prior to the start of school. A volunteer coordinator will contact you with specific details and information pertinent to the events/programs that you have expressed interest in, along with other opportunities as they become available. We will do our best to match you with your interests. Please mark all that might be of interest to you. Additionally look for ongoing opportunities listed in weekly emails and on the Agnon website.
