Change to Parent Volunteer Hour Requirements
Read MoreAs we continue to find our way through this global pandemic, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in our LFA Community.
The Parent’s Auxiliary Committee met last week to discuss several items, including the limited volunteer opportunities this term. Due to the cancellation or postponement of many scheduled events, the PA has decided to decrease the volunteer hour requirement to 10 hours. We appreciate that this has been and continues to be a stressful time in the homes of our families. We remain cautiously optimistic as we look ahead to our events in 2021, however, we will continue to monitor the situation and we will adjust the volunteer hours as necessary.
Thank you for your continued patience and support during this challenging time.
We wish you and your family a safe and joyous Christmas season.Sincerely,
Colleen Beggs
