This month’s newsletter and blog posts are devoted to an essential piece of the School District of Philadelphia puzzle – volunteers! We are so lucky to have so many dedicated and passionate family members, community members, and partners who devote their time and energy to making our schools a better place for all children.

Read posts about parents who love to volunteer in their child’s school, what volunteering is like in Singapore, and tips on how to make the volunteers in your life feel appreciated and recognized.

We hope reading stories about our amazing volunteers inspires you to volunteer in a school, think of new ways to engage families and community members, or simply take a minute to thank a hard-working volunteer. Enjoy!

Tell us your story by using the hashtag #iVolunteerBecause and tagging us @sdpFACE on Facebook and Twitter!
