Parent Volunteers needed in Cafeteria
Herndon ES parents and guardians,
We have opened up our cafeteria to volunteers again! Students love to see their parents come to school to volunteer. Volunteering in the cafeteria is a wonderful opportunity see your child and their friends while helping others at the same time.
Lunch is 11-2pm and the volunteers in the cafeteria assist with passing out utensils, helping open student's containers, and helping the dining room assistants out where needed
You may volunteer as much as you would like or even one day per week. Feel free to encourage other parents to come, too! Many hands make light work.
Thank you!
Please contact Assistant Principal Elizabeth Baxter at eabaxter@fcps.edu.
Herndon ES Monitor Positions Available
Herndon Elementary has an opening for several monitor positions. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who would like to work the same days as students at Herndon ES are in school.
Monitors assist in supporting in the classrooms and other areas. Please contact Assistant Principal Elizabeth Baxter at eabaxter@fcps.edu.
