volunteering

Our auction, indeed our entire school, is dependent on volunteers to help keep costs low and educational quality high. Plus, it can be fun and rewarding to pitch in and work together for a comon goal! School families, parishioners without children in our school, members of the community...everyone is welcome to join in the fun.

School families

As part of the tuition contract, each family agrees to perform a certain number of volunteer hours. Twenty of these hours need to be for fundraising activities, and at least 10 of those hours need to be auction related. The form at right will get you on the way to getting those hours !

Parish and community

Even if you're not the parent of a child at The Madeleine, you're welcome to help..we'd be thrilled to have you! Just fill out the form at right and in the "Child(ren) name" field put "none."
