Volunteers Needed!
It is hard to imagine Royal Palm without field trips, classroom helpers, and special events like the Fall Festival, Winter Music Program, FCAT Breakfast, and Spring Fling. All of these have been made possible because of your past support, and every volunteer hour plays a part in the success of our children's school year.
When volunteering your time during school hours, please check-in at the front office and sign the visitor log. After your volunteer shift is completed, please record your hours in the Volunteer Binder (also located in the school office) and sign yourself out of the visitor log.
The following are areas currently in need of volunteer help. You can sign up for any of these opportunities using the email links in the listings. Please share a little time and help to make the 2010-11 school year our best yet!
Uniforms = Volunteer Hours
Receive volunteer hour credit for the uniform items your child outgrows. Each polo shirt or sweatshirt with the new school logo (gator reading a book) is worth 1 volunteer hour, and each PE shirt with the new school logo is worth 1/2 of a volunteer hour. Don't forget the tan uniform shorts, pants, skorts, or jumpers - they are also worth 1 hour each. Bring your items to the school office, and the credit hours will be logged.
Since the original school logo is being retired after the 2009-2010 school year, shirts with the older logo are not eligible for volunteer hour credit.
