PARENT
VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
(Volunteer Form)
Welcome to the 2009-2010 school
year at Bishop Luers! Our blessings are many at Luers. We pride
ourselves in guiding our students spiritually, academically, and
socially.
To offset the
differences between tuition and what it actually costs to
educate a student we have fundraisers. Due to the constant need
for successful fundraising, the time and talents of parents are
required for our three major fundraisers.... Walk-A-Thon, Luers
Loot Rummage Sale, and LuersKnight. In addition, our Alumni
Office holds a Fund Drive each year to raise additional funds
for the school. The Bishop Luers School Board has adopted a
policy that the school expects 100% parent/guardian
participation. The attached Parent Volunteer form provides you
with information and the opportunity to register as a volunteer
for the fundraising activities of your choice.
Before each fundraiser,
information will be sent home with students and will be relayed
to parents through the mail or through our online newsletter,
KnightNotes.
The following are brief descriptions of each fundraiser and
volunteer opportunities...
-
Walk-A-Thon:
Friday, October 2, 2010:
Students collect pledges from friends, family, neighbors,
businesses, and teachers before the day of Walk-A-Thon. On
October 2nd,
students and supervisors will walk a planned route in the
Luers neighborhoods during the morning, return to the school
cafeteria for a free lunch, and then have the afternoon off.
Parent volunteers are needed to help that day at
checkpoints, bike patrol, traffic supervision, and with
lunch preparation & cleanup. Volunteers are needed before
the fundraiser for preparations, to solicit incentive prizes
for the students, to bake cookies, to send in candy or pop
and for bookkeeping (counting and recording the money
raised.)

Alumni:

Many helping hands are needed all school year for the
planning of this major fundraiser that is held in our gym,
which will be beautifully decorated. Attendees will be

opportunity to bid at the silent & live auctions. Please

ways you can help. Check off any and all you may be
