Opportunities for Involvement
Home and School is responsible for helping organize various functions that help our school run smoothly.
Fundraiser and Special Event Volunteers – Parents and family members are vital to the success of the various fundraisers and events the Home and School Association host throughout the year.
All volunteers must have a Volunteer Covenant and current background check on file with the school/diocesan office. Contact Pat Walker, pwalker@stannwilmington.com for information on how to obtain a background check.
