Whether you our volunteers supported staff with recess/lunch duty, tutoring, classroom support, school site gardening, mentoring or simply being available to staff and students, you helped make a positive impact on the students and staff of SFPS throughout this school year.


Volunteers have contributed to our District's culture by utilizing skills, interests and expertise to enhance learning for students of all grade levels. By igniting a love of learning, volunteers have contributed to the energy in our classrooms and school sites.
