HOLY FAMILY CAFETERIA
We are looking for a few volunteers to help us out occasionally in the cafeteria this year! We could really use some extra hands to help us serve your children more efficiently. Specifically, we are looking for volunteers to help to hand out milk and helping us oversee the students returning their trays at the end of lunch. If you could help us out, even one day a month, we would appreciate it. (It’s also a nice way to see your children during their school day!) Serving hours are from 10:45 to 12:30. Anyone who volunteers at Holy Family Catholic School must be Virtus trained.

VOLUNTEERING AT HOLY FAMILY |
Every adult who volunteers at Holy Family is required to have a current background check on file, complete a VIRTUS training course, and sign a volunteer agreement each year. Volunteer requirements are mandated by the Diocese of Green Bay, and there are no exceptions. We strongly encourage everyone to go through the process because volunteer opportunities will come up and your name must be on our approved list prior to the event, whether it's chaperoning a field trip, selling Scrip, or helping in your child's classroom.
-
BACKGROUND CHECK Volunteers are required to provide personal references, sign a declaration form, and authorize a criminal background check (and receive a satisfactory report) Click here to complete the background check. Enter code: gbdioc04
- All volunteers who have contact with children are required to complete VIRTUS Protecting God's Children training. Register here. The Green Bay Diocese is currently not offering in-person training, so all training is online.

SCRIP
A Message from Scrip Coordinator
Last Friday started RaiseRight's 3-Day Bonus sales which run every weekend for 3 days until October 31. Each weekend will feature a different lineup of brands with special bonus rebates and include eGift cards, physical cards, and reloads to existing cards. These purchases can be made using the RaiseRight app, so if you don’t yet have it downloaded now is a great time.
All participating families should be receiving their scrip profit notices by the end of this week! If you don't receive one by Monday and would like to know where you stand just let me know! The scrip "fundraiser" will be sent home in a couple of weeks which we are hoping to be a great opportunity to earn rebates from friends and family while involving your children with incentives(NUT pass rewards!).
We are actively looking for scrip sellers during the weekends at both parishes during masses! It’s a great and easy way to earn your TSF hours especially if you attend mass at St. Agnes or SEAS and are able to arrive early to sell or stay a few minutes after mass to sell! We need your help for the program’s continued success!
