of our families. Each family is
accountable for 20 volunteer hours per semester or 40 hours per year for the
benefit of our school. These hours can
be accumulated in a variety of ways. Some
examples of volunteer work are: working
the festival, assisting in fund raisers, chaperoning dances and field trips,
tutoring, and helping with maintenance.
A $6.00 per hour charge is added to your monthly tuition bill for any
hours not worked. A $6.00 credit for
each hour worked up to 40 hours is given as the verified volunteer hours are
recorded in the office.
