What types of responsibilities do our volunteers help with?

• Communication with parents, HRP’s, and PTO, both electronic and in-person (e.g. Back to School Coffee).
• Organizing general garden area maintenance.
• Updating our Garden Class website.

When do we need you?

• The garden program is run throughout the entire school year with at least 1 parent volunteer per classroom.
• Start-up time needed in Fall.

How much time commitment is involved?
