HFS Parent's Association Volunteer Form ~ 2025-2026

Please complete this survey by Monday, September 22

The Parent's Association is a fundraising, social, and support organization for our school. The PA is tasked with raising $70,000 to contribute a portion of the school's budget. We also have many FUNraising events throughout the year with the goal of getting families together to socialize and raise school spirit! All parents are automatically members of the PA and are encouraged to participate in the activities throughout the school year.

We have many fun events planned for this year! Descriptions of many events are listed below. We will be adding events and sharing additional details for new events throughout the year.

Please indicate your interest in volunteering for the events below. Please note that this is just an initial interest form. If you indicate an interest in an event, you will be contacted with additional details about the event and your contribution.

All families are asked to complete volunteer hours, based on the tier selection, throughout the year to ensure that our fundraising efforts and events are a success! All volunteers must be VIRTUS trained before serving as a volunteer.
