Marrington Elementary Volunteer Program Rocks!

Marrington Elementary has a long history of having a thriving Volunteer Program.  The purpose of the Volunteer Program is to support  Academic  achievement and  Berkeley County School  District goals to improve graduation rates and support dropout prevention; to enrich the quality of instruction with relevant topics or presentations; to increase student motivation and improve reading scores; to strengthen the partnership between the schools and their community businesses and civic leaders; to strengthen school/parent/community relations; and to promote parent involvement by actively seeking collaboration.

Some of the many functions parent volunteers assist with are reading with or listening to a child read; shelving and weeding books in the Media Center; fundraisers: Providing a Birthday Table for students in cafeteria; Weekly Wednesday Folders; bulletin board displays; posting/displaying student work in the halls or pod areas; copying papers, duty free lunch; book fairs, Picture Pay; Staff Appreciation; and Field day and Field Trips.

Marrington Elementary faculty and staff are grateful for the unwavering help and support from their dedicated volunteers.
