Volunteering

The best way to get connected is through volunteering.  Volunteering comes in many forms. There are a variety of opportunities that fit all skill sets and schedules. You can volunteer as much or as little as you like. Learn more about volunteer opportunities on our PAC Website.

“Above all, remember why you are doing this. It’s for the kids and the school. You can’t go wrong if you keep them first.”
