Any family member who is 18 years or older may contribute to your family\u2019s ten-hour requirement. For every hour that is not worked, you will be charged $10.00 at the close of the academic year. We hope that we don&#8217;t have to collect any money though because we would much rather have your involvement and participation! Studies have shown that students whose parents are involved in their school are more likely to succeed, so we hope that this program will yield many positive fruits! Please keep in mind that in order to volunteer, you must complete the Protecting God\u2019s Children course and have a current BCI fingerprint record on file.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2b60e83 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2b60e83\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c8914b\" data-id=\"5c8914b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-185410d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"185410d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Opportunities<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e473b14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e473b14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Below are some of the many areas and volunteer positions at Saint Mary School:<\/p><ul><li>Athletics (coaching, concessions, etc.)<\/li><li>Cafeteria Classroom<\/li><li>Clinic Substitute\/RN<\/li><li>Computer Room<\/li><li>Field Day<\/li><li>Graduation<\/li><li>Dance<\/li><li>Holiday Happening<\/li><li>Library<\/li><li>Lunchroom Monitor<\/li><li>Mother\/Son Event<\/li><li>Planning Open House for New Families<\/li><li>Recess Duty<\/li><li>Room Parent<\/li><li>School Directory Coordinator<\/li><li>SCRIP Gift Certificate Program<\/li><li>Spring Musical<\/li><li>Saint Joseph Dance (Father\/Daughter)<\/li><li>Teacher Appreciation Luncheon Coordinator<\/li><li>Tutoring\/Enrichment<\/li><li>Uniform Exchange<\/li><li>Volunteer Coordinator<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>For more information about these opportunities, please email: info@saintmarylancaster.org<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-850b296 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"850b296\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b2b6efc\" data-id=\"b2b6efc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fb4797 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8fb4797\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Volunteer Code of Conduct <\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23bd0c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23bd0c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our children are the most important gifts God has entrusted to us.
