Become A Lunchroom Legend!
We’re looking for energetic volunteers to join our Lunchroom Legends Team and help make lunchtime the best part of our students’ day!
If you can share a smile, lend a hand, and don a “Spork & Serve” apron with pride, we’d love to have you.
Volunteers assist with opening tricky packages, handing out napkins, offering encouragement, and bringing joy to the cafeteria.
Shifts are flexible between 10:30 AM–1:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and even one hour makes a big difference.
A brief training and volunteer approval are required. Come for the community—stay for the smiles!
