A Community of #10Strong<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

As a community-focused charter school, volunteering is crucial to the fabric of our culture. Research shows that when parents are involved at school, ALL students do better. Therefore, we ask that all Amana parents commit to volunteer 10 hours per school year<\/strong> to create a community of families involved in their children\u2019s learning. Whether volunteering in your child\u2019s classroom, at an event, through our PTO, or at home, the opportunities to commit your time are endless. Volunteer hours can be logged via the Amana website and also at the Front Desk info kiosk. Our PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is a great resource to utilize as you begin your search for a volunteering initiative that is the right fit for your time\/skills. You can reach them at info@amanapto.org<\/a><\/p>\r\n
