Are you looking to keep your minor home improvement skills fresh? Are you available weekdays between 8 AM and 4 PM? If so, we’d love to add your name to a list of handy parent volunteers we could call on for minor repairs around the school this year. Typically our administrative team rolls up their sleeves to do these tasks, but our schedules are becoming more busy, and we aren’t always able to get to these repairs. In previous years our landlord (Michael and Son) has provided these services for free, but as they have now moved to a paid model, we’d prefer to not spend school funds on repairs. If you are interested in assisting us, please email Dr. Harmon at rebecca.harmon@coderva.org and she will add you to her list.
