“Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.”
-Elizabeth Andrews

Sign-up for volunteer opportunities throughout the school year. Simply click the link bleow for an event/activity that you would like to sign-up for, and complete the sign-up process. We encourage you to sign-up now to ensure you get your first preference.

Please remember that all families are required to complete a minimum of 20 volunteer service hours, and any unfinished hours will be billed in May. Please refer to your Family Contract for specific details.

This school year, 5 volunteer hours may go toward your 20 hour requirement by volunteering with St. Michael Parish, St. Michael CYO, and Knights of Columbus events.

Every volunteer in any capacity must complete the Virtus training (www.oakdiocese.org/offices/safe-environment) every 3 years and have the certificate on file in our school office. Volunteers must also go through the Fingerprinting through Live scan once during your time at St. Michael School. Please note that we will be offering the fingerprinting at St. Michael, please sign-up for a time slot below.

We ask that all volunteers honor the presence of Christ in each child and adult that you interact with at St. Michael. This includes respecting the confidentiality of each student and faculty/staff member.

We thank your for modeling Christian service to your children, and we are blessed to have you be an active participant in our school community.

We are looking for 2 people to join our PTG core team and help to make all of our events filled with hospitality: www.signupgenius.com/go/4090e4cada623abf94-ptghospitality

Note that more sign-ups will go out throughout the school year, including the Wine Gala Auction sign-up. Mrs. Dayton will be our School Librarian. Once that schedule is determined, a library volunteer sign-up link will go out, as well.

Teachers will also have opportunities, such as field trip chaperones to sign-up for as well throughout the school year. These activities will also be counted towards your 20 hour requirement.

If you have any questions or if you would like further detail before you sign-up about the various volunteer events/opportunities, please contact Vanessa Gallo: vanessa@gallocommunications.com or 925-963-7958.

Our PTG members looks forward to meeting with all of you during our first day of school social in the Parish Hall from 10:30am - Noon. Please stop by to meet other parents, to learn about our school events, and ways to volunteer. We will also have a table with gently used uniforms that will be free for all parents to take what they would like.

Blessings for a joyful school year,

Alison

St. Michael School (SMS) has a very extensive Parent Volunteer Program. The one thing we all have in common is the fact that our children go to a Catholic school and St. Michael has been building tomorrow’s leaders for over 100 years. The community we create gives our children an experience that can’t be found outside of the Catholic school environment and we are very proud of that.

There are three primary reasons why we all need to volunteer:

1. It is mandatory for each family to volunteer a minimum of 20 hours before the end of the school year.
2. Volunteer involvement equals stronger events and programs and this added strength turns into more revenue or support directly impacting your children.
3. Because it’s what we need to teach our children. We are stewards of the Catholic community and our children will grow up following our lead.
