PARENT/FAMILY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
​
Breakfast for Learning- With such a large school, we rely on parent volunteers to help make sure that our students have a healthy start to their day with food for learning.
​
We would like to make sure that this program is available to students each and every morning when they come to school. But we need you! Are you able to volunteer from 8:00 a.m - 8:30 a.m. one day/week? One day/month? Sign-up for whatever will work for your family’s schedule (and you are always welcome to bring any younger children with you)! Sign up on our doodle schedule for dates between now and Christmas break at: Sharon.MacCoubrey@yesnet.yk.ca
Simply add your name as a participant, click on the dates that you are available to volunteer, and save! Check in with Mme Jamie at the main office when you arrive and she will provide any information that you may need.
