Trinity Lutheran School values parental involvement in the education of children as well as in the entire program of the school and congregation. Working together as parents, staff and congregation, a positive school enviornment and community spirit will be enhanced.Volunteering will also benefit the education, safety and well being of the students, staff and families of Trinity Lutheran School. Without support, funding of field trips, school assemblies, scholarships, the library, computer lab and grants will not be possible. Volunteer hours and/or monies also provide improvements to the school facility, support for maintenance needs and complete tasks that may otherwise be done by paid workers.
Each family is asked to make a commitment of time, talents or treasures to Trinity's program. This plan provides information and opportunities to do so.
All families are requested to provide 20 service hours annually, July 1st through June 30th, and all hours must be completed by June 30th of the current school year. Instead of service hours, a monetary contribution to the PTO's adopted grants would be accepted.
The PTO will provide a list of services needed (see below), a process for volunterring and a way to record service time.
In its yearly goals, the PTO strives to provide numerous resources for Trinity's program, staff and families. It also provides opportunities for all families, through service, to respond to God's blessings in their lives.
We are confident that the honor system will work for tracking each families service hours. On the table outside the school office there is a 3-ring notebook with each family's name. Please note how and when you have volunteered, whether it is working in a classroom with the teachers, going on a field trip, or helping specifically with PTO fund raisers.
