Volunteering at Maplewood
We Need You to Make Maplewood Great!
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our School. Volunteering your time allows our teachers and administrators to focus more time on educating children, and also allows the PTA to create wonderful out-of-school time activities that bring our community together and broaden our student’s experience opportunities.
There are many ways to get involved in the Maplewood community: mentoring and tutoring students, helping with events, taking on leadership roles, beautifying campus grounds, fundraising, advocacy, communications, health and fitness, food pantry, office help and much more!
