Lunch Volunteers Needed

We need lunch volunteers to cover empty spots for the remainder of the school year. We would love for 9th-grade parents to volunteer and get involved. We will lose our Senior parents at the end of the year and there is no time like the present to get new families to volunteer and get trained. This is a great opportunity to gain service hours and to be able to see your student(s). It's a fun and easy way to also get to know other parents. Please click the button below and see what spaces we have available. Your presence will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance for your help and for supporting our Brashier Bengals!

Logging Parent Service Hours

Don't forget that Brashier parents need to complete 36 hours of service a year per family household. We keep track of all parent service hours this year through MyFoodDays. Please watch the Logging Parent Service Hours video to see how to input and keep track of parent service hours. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs Furr. 

Slideshow of Service Opportunities

Check out the service hours slideshow for the latest service hours opportunities. Students must have 50 hours per school year. They turn these into their Enrichment teacher as they earn them. If you need a copy of the service hour timesheet, click here.
