SECOND SEMESTER VOLUNTEER HOURS ARE DUE MARCH 13TH 2020!
PALS (People Assisting Local Schools) Volunteer Hours are due March 13th.
Anyone who has volunteered in any capacity from November 23, 2019-March 13, 2020, should email their time to Toni Scott at: tscott4418@pcssd.org
Besides actual participation in volunteering for events, Volunteers can count their travel and preparation time for each activity. Also if you have donated and shopped for donations for dances, teacher gifts, luncheons/breakfasts,etc.... All that counts towards hours. Chaperoning any event, assisting teachers with activities, fundraisers, tutoring students, library helpers, weekend events,etc...It all matters!
Your time is valuable and we are so appreciative and grateful of how very generous you all are in sharing yours with the students and staff of Robinson Middle!
-- Robinson Middle School has received the honor of having the highest number of volunteer hours for the last 14 years!!! Truly a testament to the commitment of this community to serve the students and staff of Robinson in being the very best!
Thank you again for helping get the word out.

Don't forget to turn in your volunteer hours by Friday, March 13!
