Opportunity to Volunteer
Description Page
In an area such as Chorus, we are only as successful as our parental support. If you are willing to volunteer to help out with the chorus this year, please indicate which areas on the form below. Whether phone calling, running errands, donating food, or helping to organize a trip with Mrs. Holcombe; every level of assistance is extremely helpful and appreciated.
