“The SCDE sent volunteers last spring to help us with specific events at Sandel Elementary School. The volunteers helped us with Muffins for Moms, No Tardy Glow Party, Parent Appreciation Day, and Kindergarten Graduation. They came early and stayed late to help with the events; during the events, they greeted our guests, handed out programs, directed guests to the correct locations, served refreshments, and helped teachers and staff in any way needed. The volunteers also provided snacks for the Pre-K end-of-the-year celebration and provided prizes for families during their Community Fair/Family Bingo Day last spring. 

We appreciated all the help the volunteers gave us and the time, money, and attention they gave to our students and families at Sandel Elementary. 

We’re looking forward to other opportunities to partner with the SCDE!”
