JCE PTO Committees
2012-2013
There are a great many volunteer opportunities available at JCE. If you have time and/or talent to give, we have a spot for you to shine! All of the committees listed below would benefit from additional volunteers – many hands make for light work. Volunteer hours are also used to meet benchmarks for 5 Star School status.
Are you a working parent? Do you have a newborn or preschooler? We have opportunities that fit into your schedule as well! Baking Buddies and Cutting Club might be exactly what you’re looking for this year.
**Please note – To volunteer in the St. Johns County School District, you must complete the KeepnTrack application form. This is for the safety of all our children. If you have questions about volunteering, please contact Volunteer Coordination, KD Bender at benderz00@bellsouth.net.
