Volunteer Opportunities:
Parent Teacher Conferences – Thursday, November 19, 2026
We need one volunteer to help set up the hospitality tables for Parent Teacher Conferences. This is an afternoon shift (3:30-4:30) so if you plan to be in school meeting with teachers around this time, please consider this volunteer spot! To sign up, click HERE.
Nearly New Sale – Thursday, November 19, 2026
We are looking for 8 parent volunteers to set-up, work and then clean up the Nearly New Sale afterwards. This sale is the same evening as the Parent Teacher Conferences so if you are in the school to meet with teachers, please consider signing up for one of the posted opportunities. There are three shifts available: 2:00-3:30 (2 volunteers needed), 3:30-5:30 (3 volunteers needed), 5:30-7:30 (3 volunteers needed). Click HERE to sign up!
Advent Band Concert – Tuesday, November 24, 2026 - CALLING ON PARENTS OF BAND STUDENTS!
Six volunteers are needed to fill the two evening volunteers shifts for the Advent Band Concert on Tuesday, November 24, 2026. This is a special event that the SPHS community loves. We get such a great turnout. The set-up shift is from 6:00-7:30 (all parents are welcome to volunteer but if you are attending the Advent Band Concert, please consider this shift). The second shift is for Parents of Band Concert students – this is the clean-up shift. We are asking that since parents are already at the school watching their sons, that some of you come to the Cafeteria at the end of the Concert and help clean-up. The clean-up shift will end around 9:30 (or when everything is cleaned up). On SignUp, parents will see the second shift starts at 8:00 but it will start whenever the Concert ends. No one will miss any of the performances. Please help out if you can. Sign up HERE.
We are also looking for anyone who is interested in shadowing the Band Concert coordinators. This year, you would meet with the current coordinators and learn about the events and help out with the two concerts. Next year, you would be in charge of working with the Volunteer Coordinator, Karen Andersen, to put on both the Advent Concert and the Performing and Visual Arts Concert in the Spring. If you are interested in shadowing the Band Concert coordinators, please contact Karen Andersen at volunteercoordinator@stpauls.mb.ca.
