Volunteer Opportunities
The Holy Family School Volunteer Program is essential to the success of our school. Volunteering is a wonderful way to
become acquainted with other school families and grow in the spirit of the Holy Family community. The volunteer program not only reduces costs by utilizing parent and parish volunteers, it also allows parents to have a greater role in their student’s school life and to share the responsibility for the success of school programs.
All parents are required to support the efforts of Holy Family School by committing a minimum of 20 hours of service to
the school and/or parish per year. A minimum of 5 of these 20 Hours must be acquired by either working on the auction and/or as chairperson of another PTO Leadership approved fundraising event.
Auction
The Auction is an annual event held in March. This auction is our major fundraising event of the year. Months of work are put into this evening and the results are worth it. Many, many volunteers are needed to make this event a success.
