We have events that can use your help for 30 minutes or more; some volunteers are needed at school and sometime the work can be done from home. There is a way for everyone to support the students and staff. We are happy to have help from our families and members in the community. Please reach out to help the ECMS community!
Hospitality Committee
We are the committee that plans events to uplift our ECMS staff. These events occur throughout the school year. It takes a lot of generosity from the ECMS community to host these events. Our staff needs to know how much we appreciate them. Please consider supporting this committee with donations of time, food or supplies. Let us know you would like to help by e-mailing ecmsvolunteers@live.com or by filling out a volunteer form.
In addition, we always need some people to share their entertaining talents. If you would like to be a part of planning the next staff holiday party or appreciation week, please make sure you reach out to this committee. New people = new ideas
Thank You!!!! Your effort is noticed and appreciated!!!
