Some of the activities they volunteer to help with include baking, clerical work, reading and computer assistance, math superstar program, the Junior Great Books program, library volunteers, and the spring fling pizza party. Teachers get the extra help, parents learn about the schools, and kids love having their parents at the school. At the middle school, volunteers do a lot of work outside the classroom, as the students are older and their needs differ from younger children. No job is too small. We also have people who do the thankless jobs like copying, stapling and collating paperwork.
People give many hours doing projects like that.
McKelvie saw 350 volunteers put in a total of about 13,000 hours. Regardless of what task each volunteer performs, the coordinators, as well as staff of all the schools, are grateful for the help. The more time you put in as a volunteer, the more time you help the teachers, which means the more they are able to give back to the students. The money came from revenue left over at the end of the year, specifically from state funds. The remainder was a result of the tuition account.
