Social activities, field trips, fundraising and a safe environment in the cafeteria could not happen without family assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Thomas school asks that each family participate in volunteerism. Volunteering can take many forms\u2026chaperoning field trips, projects at home like organizing special classroom projects or helping teachers with paperwork, lunchroom duty, assisting the teacher in the classroom, assisting at events, and on and on! Keep in mind that volunteers can be other family members too: a grandparent, college-aged sibling, au pair, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school staff uses&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.signupgenius.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">www.SignUpGenius.com<\/a>&nbsp;to invite and organize volunteers and to track volunteer hours.
