Volunteers Start the Year Off with Meeting

Christ the Redeemer Catholic School (CtRCS) volunteer community started the 2018-19 school year off with a welcome meeting on Friday, Aug. 31.

Principal Dan Courtney welcomed a group of more than 55 parents that gathered in Parish Hall following the monthly assembly. Parents Marilyn Lozano and Kristen Sullivan joined Director of Admissions and Students Affairs Tamara Freeman as Crusader Volunteer Chairs. 

 

The meeting started off with Courtney’s prayer for kindness, which reflects this year’s theme, “Acts of Random Kindness” (A.R.K.).

 

Lozano introduced the heads of several parent volunteer groups, which include:

 

Director of Advancement Megan Dillingham announced opportunities for volunteers to become involved with fundraising initiatives at the school. She shared the variety of opportunities that parents have to get involved with the Chili Cook-Off, which is Nov. 10 on the CtR campus.

 

In addition to a buffet of Starbucks coffee and pastries, all attendees of the quarterly meeting had the chance to enter their names to win a $25 Amazon gift card. Parent Mayte Tunison was the lucky winner.

 

All CtRCS volunteers are required to have completed VIRTUS Training and, if applicable, the VIRTUS refresher course. Each year, parent volunteers must sign the Volunteer Code of Conduct, which outlines expectations for the behaviors of parent volunteers.
