For more information or questions about volunteer requirements and VIRTUS, please contact Kim Roering. VIRTUS training is a three-hour awareness session that better equips adults to protect children in the world around them. It is required of all clergy, deacons, school and parish employees as well as all volunteers who are in regular or unsupervised contact with children under the age of 18. Volunteers are used throughout the school. Different grade levels and teachers use volunteers in a variety of ways; needs vary by grade level. Some volunteering opportunities are listed below: Classroom Help classroom teachers with preparing materials: copying, bulletin boards, other activities as needed. Tutor Work with students in various grades to review addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts. Review materials for tests, help with tests. Field Trips Help chaperone field trips.

Santa Shop This is usually at the end of November or early December. Help with set up, selling items to students, and wrapping gifts.

Our school could not offer the quality of education, service, and sense of community that it does without parental involvement as volunteers, committee members and supporters. All jobs are important and the students are delighted to know that their parents are working for the school. Learn more about volunteering, please contact icollierpaske@stpascalschool.org
