Volunteering Opportunities
Open House Parent Volunteers
Our school will be hosting the first Open House of the school year at the elementary school on Thursday, October 17 from 6:30 – 8:00pm. Here are some great opportunities to get involved and accumulate some volunteer hours SIGN UP.
KM Club Volunteers
KM Club needs more volunteers! Especially the important set-up and cleanup/counter positions are still vacant. We cannot run this event without your help!
Not only is this a great way to collect volunteer hours for the year while supervising your children during the run, you also collect points for your child’s class to win a free pizza lunch at the end of the term.
Volunteer descriptions and registration can be found in the sign-up link.
Caribou Math Contest
Hope Lutheran Christian School recognizes the diverse learning needs of some of our math students. This year Middle School will be participating in the Caribou Math Contest. It is a worldwide online mathematics contest that is held at various points throughout the year. The goal of these contests are to help provide challenging math activities for grades 3 to 12 students and show that math puzzles and problem-solving can be fun.
If you decide to permit your child to participate in this program, he/she may need to practice at home for the contests. On the contest days, your child will take a 60-minute online test during the school day. The use of calculators is not permitted for this program. The student’s test results are available on the Caribou Contests website. For more information regarding the program please refer to the Caribou Contests website at www.cariboutests.com.
Please sign and return this form by Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, at 5 pm: https://forms.gle/5HS3dmarUt6rr6928
