  18. Volunteering We are asking for one hour of your time this year. We have multiple things that count as volunteering. We have things that could be done at home, at school or even on field trips. There may be times that help is asked for in the office, classrooms like music, art, or PE and even for PTA. There are lots of types of volunteering. Also, for every hour of volunteering we are offering an any day pass for lunch at school.
