volunteering

 

Our auction, indeed our entire school, is dependent on volunteers to help keep costs low and educational quality high.

School families

As part of the tuition contract, each family agrees to perform a certin number of volunteer hours. Twenty of these hours need to be for fundraising activities, and at least 10 of those hours need to be auction related. The form at right will get you signed up!

Parish and community

Even if you're not the parent of a child at The Madeleine, you're welcome to help! Just fill out the form at right and in the Child(ren) name field put "none."
