Be A Shepton Volunteer

As our children get older in school, it seems that the school doesn’t need as much help as they used to. Actually they still need us, just in differing ways. Do you have an hour once a month, once every 3 or 4 months, once a year? We have volunteer opportunities that fit all of these needs and more. Sign up to help in a variety of ways by checking your preferences on our PTSA Toolkit or sign up to be “Ready to Help” when the opportunity arises. You may also contact volunteers@sheptonptsa.org with any questions.
