Volunteer Opportunities
January Cafeteria Volunteers

Thank you to all of you who have taken time out of your day to help out during lunch time! Volunteering during lunch is a great way to help the Evergreen community as well as say "Hello" to your own child during lunch. You can help out in only your child's grade or stay to help other grade levels also, if you would like. It is easy and a huge help to the EES staff!

Please check out the link below to find a date/time that is convenient for you. To sign up to volunteer in the month of January, please use the link below.
