Each year the parents of SJBCS students are offered a number of volunteer opportunities to assist the school and the teachers. Below you will find a brief description of volunteer opportunities for the upcoming school year. Please note that this list does not include every volunteer activity. Activities may include field trips, classroom activities, retreats, etc. Families are not expected to participate in all activities. Please take your time in choosing the areas where you would most like to help, and know that all efforts to help our school are truly appreciated.
