Opportunities to Help

Volunteer to help with or donate to special projects

Volunteer

These are projects that could be done with volunteer help. Some of these may require skilled labor, but all them are things we’d like to get done but lack the manpower or budget right now.

Urgent/Soon

Summer

Anytime

Contact the school office to let us know of your interest and availability in helping with one of these needs.

DONATE/BUY

These are major projects or purchases we’d like to be able to do at some point that would greatly enhance our environment, add significant resources, or ensure the continued care and upkeep of the property. There’s a great range of costs, so browse the list to see what all is available. 

Gifts can be made to the school and designated to go toward these projects. Designated gifts will be placed into a separate fund and left alone until all the funds for that project have been acquired.
