VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: PARENTS AND STUDENTS

Day: Wednesday, October 7, 2015

Time: 4:00 pm

Location: Enrollment Office, Room 8

In a few short weeks we are hosting 8th grade tours. During that time, we will have 500+ students come and visit Holy Cross, tour our campus and decide whether or not Holy Cross is the right place for their high school career. Each student who visits gets a care package (HC bag filled with chips, cookies and a drink) as well as recruitment materials.

The Advancement and Enrollment Department requests help from students, parents and alumni to accomplish the following tasks:

  • Taking off labels of 600 water bottles and placing a special made HC label in its place.
  • Each student gets a folder with information regarding how to apply, curriculum and extracurricular information – the folders need to be put together
  • The goodie bags need to be stuffed with all of the give-away items
  • Items need to be separated by school and amount of students

Snacks will be provided.

If you are available to help, please call or email
