VOLUNTEERS……A Gift to the Community!!

Volunteers play an important role in the success of Conshohocken Catholic School. Without them, many programs that make our school successful would not happen.

Letter from the Home and School Board :

Parents/Guardians/Volunteers,

Below is a list of description of events and activities that will be held throughout the school year which require volunteer assistance.

As you can see we have a full slate of activities designed to help support our school both financially and in spirit. All of these activities take time and talent and we are blessed at Conshohocken Catholic School that so many families have given of themselves to help make our past efforts a success. We know we can count on that support again during this coming school year.

We all lead busy lives and fitting in a volunteer commitment can be challenging but even the smallest effort can make the difference. If you are a working parent, perhaps you will consider volunteering for a weekend event such as the Ducky Regatta or the Pancake Breakfast. If you only have a few hours to give perhaps you could assist our Pizza Chairperson in tallying orders. If you’d like to be assigned to an evening task, jot us a note and we will match you with the perfect opportunity. No effort is too small and never has the old adage “many hands make light work” been so true!

By volunteering your time and talent to Conshohocken Catholic School you are not only helping enrich the educational opportunities for your children, you are deepening your relationship with our school family. It is a priceless return on only a few hours of investment.
