The Mount de Sales Academy Parents’ Club Committee Events
2015-2016
The Mount de Sales Parents’ Club organizes multiple events during the year. We can only do this with the help of numerous parent volunteers. Please consider helping with one or more of these activities. Following is a description of the volunteer needs for each event. This lists the various jobs that need to be done and you can offer to help with one or more of the roles.
We appreciate any and all help you can give. All volunteer names will be forwarded to committee chairpersons who will contact you with more details and coordinate volunteer duties. In many cases, your daughters earn service hours when they volunteer with you. The Chairperson for the respective event or the Parents’ Club President (Rick Siebert, , 443-789-0094) or Vice-President (Mike Megan, , 281-898-0703) can be contacted if you have additional questions.
