How to Volunteer
Many Hands Make Light Work! The NFS PTO is plans many events throughout the school year. Each one of these events is an opportunity to build community, make new friends, and ensure that our NFS students will continue to have an amazing experience at NFS! Please look for an activity or fundraiser you can help make successful. Click on the categories to see a description of what it takes to organize an event, program, or fundraiser. Most of these programs and events already have documents/sign-ups/checklists/promotional materials in our PTO Google Drive. Contact a Board Member to share the paperwork with you. We value your time and appreciate your efforts! We will make it as easy as possible for you to be successful! |

Why volunteer?
Research shows that when parents are involved in their children’s education, kids are more likely to earn better grades, attend school regularly, have better social skills, have a positive attitude towards school, graduate and continue their education.
We understand that different families have different needs and obligations. We also believe that all involvement counts. There is a way for you to be involved that will fit your schedule and availability, whether it is before, during, or after school/work, a one-time hour commitment or a weekly commitment, helping at the annual Lawn Fete or baking a pie at night for the Election Day Bake Sale. Some parents or guardians might not have time, but can connect the school to local businesses that can support events and fundraisers through product, gift cards, and other donations, or they may give money themselves. However you may contribute, we are are thankful.
