2020/2021 Volunteers of the Year

2020/2021 Volunteers of the Year

Each year community and parent volunteers are critical to the success of our schools. We simply could not support all of the needs that are identified at every school without the support of our community. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, in-school volunteerism was very limited and we could not celebrate in ways we enjoyed in previous years. Please see our volunteers listed by school, who each helped continue supporting student success despite the numerous challenges brought on by all the necessary changes caused by the pandemic.
