Volunteers are crucial to the success of Saint John School. At the beginning of each school year,
parents pledge to volunteer a minimum of five hours during the school year through the Give Me Five
Program.

Give Me Five! ….is a promise.  

A promise not only from you, but a promise to your child and a promise to our school.  You promise to
volunteer five hours of your time during the school year.  Whether it is helping in the classroom,
reading to children, helping at a school event, helping with activities or tasks from home, or dozens of
