Help Wanted: Mandatory HSA Volunteering
 
It takes many hands to make the magic happen for our students!
 
When registering at SRLA, each school family agrees to volunteer with the HSA. If you haven't already, please sign up to lend a hand. There are many ways to get involved, whether you're available for an in-school event, can pitch in on planning for Wish Upon A Star from your laptop, or sells snacks at a weekend basketball game. And don't worry—all events are supported by the HSA and Chairs, so we will be there to answer any questions!
