The SPA organizes various events throughout the year, and depends on parent volunteers to make these events successful! You can find volunteer opportunities on the Parent Portal, in the Shlenker Snapshot (the school's weekly e-newsletter), and in emails from room parents. Keep an eye out for these emails throughout the year, as they will provide details on how you can get involved and include sign-up sheets.

We understand that many Shlenker families have two working parents. There are numerous opportunities for projects that can be done at home during evenings and weekends, and grandparents or other family members are also welcome to participate.

If you have specific questions about any SPA events, please email your child's room parents.

Please know that any amount of time spent volunteering is truly appreciated and makes a huge difference!
