“Hats Off to Volunteers” At Cy-Fair ISD

“Whenever you wear your hat, your day will be special.” Margo Nickel In Cy-Fair ISD, volunteers have the opportunity to wear lots of different hats. Some will find themselves wearing the hat of a library helper or classroom reader. Others find that organizing a fundraiser or mentoring a student is the hat they wear best. Whatever volunteer hat you are wearing in our schools, one thing is certain; your day will be special. Cy-Fair ISD volunteers center the attention of their service on supporting students and staff and making a significant contribution to the education of children.

They give freely of their time and resources and have an impact on the academic and personal development of our students. Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is fortunate to be able to draw from a terrific diversity of skills and knowledge in its community.

If you are interested in being a part of an exciting group of volunteers and making a difference in your Cy-Fair ISD Schools, or would like more information, please feel free to contact Pam Scott, Partners in Education Director at 281-894-3950.
