Annunciation Volunteer

and Involvement Initiative

Volunteering is a huge part of the Annunciation community. Because of our wonderful volunteers, we can hold a variety of programs and events -  from large community parties to classroom holiday celebrations to special reading guests. There are so many ways to pitch in and do our part to keep our community strong!

We are asking each family to volunteer 5 total hours of their time for each school year. 

Many of the wonderful events we enjoy every year cannot happen without the assistance of volunteers. When you volunteer, you help to support the events and connect with other members of our community. There are MANY different ways to get involved (see some examples below) and we hope families feel excited to help out whenever they can.

We ask that each family let us know  the hours they have spent volunteering on our new online reporting form that can be found in the Weekender. APO will use the information as a guide for future years to know how many volunteer hours our school needs to run smoothly, and to get a better understanding of where our biggest volunteer needs lie.
