Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart. ~Elizabeth Andrew
​
We at Orchard School are looking forward for parents with heart to dedicate a few minutes of their time for volunteering on various programs. With parents' support, we can help our students excel in their education and life skills.
​
​
Why volunteer?
​
1. Children benefits
Research shows that participating in your child's school and showing engagement helps them perform better academically. ​
2. School benefits
PTA performs support for school teachers and administration which in turn created a positive and caring atmosphere in the school.
3. Make connections
Get to know the teachers & staff better and make life-long friends with other parents at the school.
4. It's good for you
Socializing with other parents and volunteering to do good for your child's school is fun, healthy and rewarding!
