VOLUNTEERing at st. serra
Welcome, Volunteers! Thank you for visiting our web page. This is where you will find everything related to volunteering at St. Serra, including volunteer certification requirements, volunteer service hour requirements, volunteer opportunities, how to record your volunteer hours, and more!
Volunteerism is a crucial aspect of our school community. All St. Serra parents are encouraged to contribute their time, talent and treasure to various areas of need within our school. Volunteer support for our classrooms, library, sports programs, theater programs, PTO events and programs, etc., help us to foster fellowship and build community for our children, parents, teachers and support staff. Each family's efforts help to provide a strong foundation for our school's development, and ultimately benefit all of our children who will learn by example to become the leaders of future generations.
Prayer of Gratitude for Volunteers
Father, we offer our grateful thanks and praise for the army of volunteers
who quietly yet faithfully offer their services for the wellbeing and support of others.
We ask Your special blessing on each one, knowing that they are the unsung heroes
who receive little thanks for their valuable contribution,
and who are so often taken for granted by those that they freely serve.
Provide for the needs of each one, and protect them from those that might
intentionally or unwittingly exploit their generous nature. We ask this in Jesus' name,
Amen.

For those parents who do not have the ability to volunteer on campus, choose not to provide a copy of their COVID-19 Vaccination Card, or do not wish to get a COVID-19 test within 72 hours of volunteering at the school, we are offering some additional options this year which can count toward the 40-hour service requirement:
