You Can Make a Difference
Although this is an unusual year, you can still make a difference at Franklin Sherman and keep us a thriving school and community. We can’t be a top-notch elementary school without your help! Volunteering is a great way to stay connected and meet more parents. Plus, it’s fun, meaningful and worth it. Worried about the commitment? Grab a friend and co-chair an activity or be a team member! Nearly all volunteer opportunities can be done virtually and at flexible times. We are so grateful for all our parent volunteers – especially our coordinators who have led events in the past.
Current volunteer opportunities are below. Please contact us to let us know that you’re interested in making a difference – big or small.
