Volunteerism across the District: Year in Review
As the school year winds down, we wanted to share a quick summary of volunteer service in the district. While we know there are likely some opportunities that weren’t captured in our centralized volunteer hub (Better Impact) this year and we will work to strengthen consistent use of that system next year, we are happy to share the following measures of success from this year:
