Volunteer Hours

VOLUNTEER HOURS

Volunteer (v.) – to choose to act in recognition of a need, with an attitude of social responsibility and without concern for monetary profit, going beyond one’s basic obligations.

Volunteering in St. Susanna School is an experience and a privilege for both the school and the volunteer. It is designed to promote and maintain a supportive relationship for the students, teachers and school staff. 

We ask that each family complete five service hours this school year. These hours can be completed during school or parish events.
