Happy Hearts
One of the best ways to support our local schools is to
volunteer your time. It means the world to teachers and
students to have parents and community members involved in
our classrooms and other activities.
“We need more volunteers in our schools,” said Rick
Molitor, superintendent for JCSD. “Students are genuinely
proud when their parents help out at school and it helps
teachers and staff when they get to know family members
and build stronger partnerships. It’s a positive experience for
everyone.”
If you are interested in volunteering your time to support
our students, call any of our school offices and ask how you
can help. We need you!!

I’ve always loved helping kids.”
