Volunteer Programs

Each year the Home and School Association coordinates the Volunteer Teacher Aide Program at St. Peter the Apostle School. An active parent involvement gives our teachers more quality time with our children and is also a strong statement to both teachers and students that we are concerned and supportive of them.

Please consider volunteering!

There are many ways in which you can assist. We would love to see not only moms volunteering, but also dads, grandparents, and guardians.

Some of the ways in which you can volunteer at St. Peter the Apostle School are:
