About

SERVICE PROGRAM
Parent service is vital to the life and mission of SJS. Parents, working on behalf of the school, help strengthen and increase our spiritual and scholastic environment. Service is a critical component in Catholic education.
With strong volunteerism, we can provide all the needed services and activities that create a quality, affordable, faith-based education for our children. SJS recognizes and truly appreciates the dedication of our school families. SJS continues to thrive due to our families’ service and volunteer efforts.

Families are required to complete a designated fundraiser and 10 additional service hours during the school year. Families will be assigned to one of the designated fundraisers (details are included in Volunteer Handbook).
