Volunteer Opportunities 2026-2027
We have a number of fantastic events already planned for the 2026-2027 school year! Please remember to check school communications often for updated opportunities and information. Also, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office directly if you are in need of more information or you want to volunteer!
Our events are not only important for raising funds for our school, but also excellent ways to build connections with other families in our community. None of this would not be possible without the dedication and support of our amazing volunteers. We cannot thank you enough for donating your time and talents in support of our school and students!
Please Note: Volunteers must successfully complete the required clearances before volunteering for any activity or event that involves children.
We ask that all school families consider completing a minimum of 25 volunteer hours per year plus 4 cafeteria shifts. Opportunities currently include:
Hospitality Committee
This is a committee which will be called on several times over the course of the year to provide delicious treats for school events and activities.
Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat is a fun outdoor family event held in the SSPJ parking lot. During the event, students and families can dress up in their Halloween costumes and can safely enjoy a night of Trick or Treating on our campus. Students will visit various decorated and themed cars. They will also participate in fun activities and enjoy food, drinks and music. Volunteer responsibilities at this event include set up prior, parking lot entrance monitoring and clean up after the event.
Tricky Tray
Our annual Tricky Tray features well over 100 fantastic prize baskets and so much more. Leading up to the event, we will need assistance with acquiring prizes, wrapping baskets, and selling tickets to the event. The day of the event, we will need help setting up all baskets, selling tickets, and drawing prizes.
Santa’s Workshop
Santa’s Workshop committee needs help with decorating, organizing, wrapping, and assisting students as they shop. Santa Shop will be held in the SSPJ Library. Stay tuned for more information!
Faith and Service Dinner
The Faith and Service Dinner is designed to honor those who have given back to the parish and school community. Since 2014, our annual event has celebrated an alumnus or group, and a member of the parish who have worked tirelessly, oftentimes behind the scenes, to better our school and parish environments. This event is a way to celebrate and honor those who have made a difference, while also serving as a major fundraiser with funds going directly towards continuous academic and technology programs. More information will be coming soon!
Golf Outing
The Golf Committee will meet regularly leading up to the event to coordinate planning, logistics, and event details. On the day of the event, volunteers will be needed to assist with the 50/50 raffle, gift auction, and additional contests held around the course. More information on volunteer roles, schedules, and responsibilities will be shared as the event approaches.
