DONE IN A DAY - Committee members provide background support for teachers’ special classroom projects. Great for those whose scheduling needs require volunteering on an “as – needed” short term basis.

NEW PARENT WELCOMING - Be part of a group of dedicated volunteers who help incoming EHS families feel welcomed and integrated into the community (spring and summer commitment).

STAFF APPRECIATION - Committee members volunteer to set up and clean up the monthly breakfast that acknowledges the hard work and commitment of our faculty and staff, and also organize the year-end Staff Appreciation Week and luncheon.
