Ridwell Drive Recap!

Thank you Loyal Heights students, staff and families! In just 10 days we collected more than 100 pounds of hard-to-recycle plastics, which is A LOT for a very light material, and hundreds of light bulbs and batteries!


We had more than 125 participants with the most participation from Mrs. Morrell’s third graders. Congratulations!! They will celebrate at an extra recess with doughnuts! 


If you have not done so, please take a look at the Ridwell website and see what other amazing things they recycle. For each family that registers through this link, Ridwell will give Loyal Heights $25.

Art Room Volunteers Needed!

The Art room needs four volunteers or about four hours a week of help. No experience in art is necessary. You will be cutting paper, prepping projects, loading the kiln, and cleaning supplies. Volunteers are welcome anytime during the day and days and times can be flexible based on your schedule and needs. 


Thank you for your support. Please email Ms. Cissell with questions and/or interest.

Volunteer at Loyal Heights!

Our school is always looking for volunteers to help with programs, events, and classroom activities running. When volunteers commit to serving at a school, students achieve higher grades, have access to more opportunities, and gain community connections to help them thrive.

 

IMPORTANT: All returning AND new volunteers for the 2022-2023 school year are required to have an approved Volunteer Application on file.


Returning volunteers: If you plan to volunteer in any capacity during the 2022-2023 school year, please make sure that your Volunteer Application is approved and up to date before you start volunteering.

 

New volunteers:  All volunteers must complete a Volunteer Application Form online which includes completing an online training video (Adult Sexual Misconduct Prevention Safety), and background check. Instructions for updating and completing Volunteer Applications can be found here.


Please Note: Mr. Steve receives Volunteer Status Updates from the district once a week on Wednesdays. Please make sure that your applications are completed/updated at least 2 weeks before you plan on volunteering. Updates and applications created after Tuesday evenings will not be reviewed until the following Wednesday.
