Volunteers are a vital component of Wildwood School. Parents/guardians are encouraged to be involved in the school, classroom and attend School Council meetings. The Volunteer program includes: volunteering for special programs, on field trips, working with students in the classroom/school, in the library, festive food luncheons, Kokomo Beach, fundraising activities and Grandparent Reading Program to name a few. Watch for a form at the beginning of each school year listing the different opportunities with which volunteers can help. A Volunteer Handbook will also be given to every volunteer. Volunteers are appreciated for their gift of time and the significant difference they make in our learning community.

Fundraising Lead: a committee striving to lead any size fundraiser, the school is hoping to upgrade their sound system and large presentation pieces which are aging out. Facilitating the Apple Fundraiser, Bottle Drives etc.
Hospitality Lead: Prior to C19 we had "tasty treats for the teachers", think potluck with mini dishes organized for the staff room monthly, we would love to be able to get back into this but not as frequent and with approval in the future. We have now pre approved catered meals for the teachers on the Thursdays of conference week for the 3 scheduled parent/teacher conferences of the school year.
Volunteer Coordinator: this lead formulates via Sign up Genius online platform for the special events needed, ie. Casino, Kokomo Beach, Activity Day maybe Tasty Treats. Its a very easy platform to use and I believe all the templates are there!
