Banning School Board Member Recruits Six Sun Lakes Volunteers, Seeks More

A Banning Unified School District board member said Monday she recently recruited six volunteers at Sun Lakes to work with students from kindergarten to 12th grade, and she's seeking more volunteers.

School board member Veronica Histed said she attended Volunteer Day at Sun Lakes on Monday April 16 in Banning.

The event was "aimed to attract residents to partner with local non profit agencies to help fulfil the need of our community," Histed said.

"As a board of trustee member, I felt it was necessary to help bridge this gap between our more mature and experienced residents with our children in the Banning Unified School District."

Six people agreed to volunteer their time, from one day a week to multiple days a week, to help kids from K-12, Histed said. They also agreed to submit to background checks and other requirements to meet district policy, Histed said.

Histed said she is looking for more volunteers from across the Banning community. For information, contact Histed at (603) 512-4789.
