Every household represented at FCHS has committed to contribute 30 volunteer hours per year; these hours are over and above the 10 community hours which must be fulfilled by each FCHS student.  The Volunteer Committee is a central forum in which to coordinate opportunities with volunteers, as well as the registrar for those volunteer hours.

The links below are for your use in contacting us with suggestions or to volunteer as well as to log your hours; or if you prefer, there is also a logbook in the office.  We'll tally the hours and qualifying families will be honored at our annual Volunteer Recognition.

There are lots of ways to volunteer at FCHS!  Some options are:

• Library workers

• Tutors, teachers' aides

• Field trip chaperones, cars and drivers

• Lunchroom monitor

• Committee workers

• Grant writing, fund raising

• Sport related ops - ticketers, concessions, cleanup

• Prom, Graduation exercises

• Qualified maintenance (electrical, plumbing)

• PTCA Pageant, Dress Swap

• Qualified adult mentors to work with struggling teen mentees

• Snack Sponsors - see boxed text below
   

  SNACK SPONSORS needed for various events; ever feel left out because you cannot physically participate?  Well if you like to bake we have developed a formula to extend volunteer credit in exchange for baked goods or snacks of most any kind.  We've even figured a way to extend volunteer credit for providing hard goods such as paper plates, cups, napkins, flatware, etc.  Here's the formula: $10 spent is worth one volunteer hour Time spent baking  is doubled, i.e. 30 minutes = 1 volunteer hour As goods are delivered to the school, you earn an extra 1 hour EXAMPLE, if you agreed to bake cookies and you spent $10 purchasing the ingredients (you get 1 hour), then it took you 1.5 hours to mix and bake them (you get another 3 hours) and finally as you deliver them to the school or event (you get another 1 hour) so all totaled you will have earned 5 volunteer hours for providing cookies for a particular event!  Be fair, it does not take an hour and a half for ONE DOZEN cookies, so know that for 1.5 hours, we'd be looking for a couple dozen cookies!

Volunteer work need not be limited to school  hours, or even school days.  With a little notice, someone can be available to open gates or the school building if your approved activity requires access to campus grounds or inside the school building.  If you have suggestions for other projects, you may submit your ideas at this link Volunteer Application Form.   Other ideas for the continuous improvement of our school are welcome and may be submitted in care of Ms. Stewart's email address below. 

Log your volunteer times and activities on the Volunteer Log-In Report.

Parents should remember that returning students who, along with their household, have fulfilled their volunteer hours will have first option at registration.  Any student and/or household failing to fulfill the required volunteer hours will have to qualify in the same manner as first-time registrants, space permitting.  You may contact us to volunteer for an activity, or to log in your hours by the links above, or by contacting the appropriate member below:
