We would like to express how much volunteering means to this program. After our very successful Election Day Bake Sale, many of us parents, board members, Ray and Karly in passing have talked about how everyone came together, and it makes sense to share these thoughts with all of you. When we say every single job is important and no amount of giving is too little, this was made so clear with the bake sale. The decorating committee did an amazing job and is receiving well-deserved praise for that, and many of us board members had people coming up to us and thanking us as if we were responsible for the whole event. No individual or even small group can pull off what we did without the participation we received from all of you. The decorating committee would not have been able to focus on decorating to the degree they did if we all had to stress about running out of baked goods or there not being enough parents to cover shifts.
Our point here is about gratitude. Thank you so much for your help! Don’t think that your contribution was a small one – we need it all. We had no problems, and the day ran smooth because you just came for an hour to help, or you dropped off one case of water, or you dropped off your child to help, or maybe just made a donation. All of it is needed and very much appreciated, and when a group comes together, we end up with the success that we did! These efforts keep everyone inspired, and our students are the ones who receive the benefits, not just financially, but also to experience adults working together on their behalf. So, thank you very much.
