Not too late in the year to help local schools as a volunteer!

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Fauntleroy resident Judy Pickens, who volunteers her time and talent to a variety of endeavors including local schools, continues to gather and report information on volunteer needs at West Seattle schools where the need is greatest, sharing it here periodically. Here’s what will probably be the last request for this school year.)

A school volunteer’s greatest reward is knowing that students have an enrichment activity because you are there to make it happen. And it can happen in the spring as well as earlier in the school term. Consider one of the following ways to dip your toe in the water of school volunteering. You may find yourself back in the fall!

    Any hours on any day, as in a “drop in basis”? I am very interested in volunteering however I have a crazy schedule and the only days that might be open are Monday/Tuesday. Should I just stop by or pre-arrange? Thanks!! =)
