Volunteer Opportunities at SHS
Please Make it Count!
Sherwood High School’s PTSA respectfully asks volunteers to keep a log of the hours worked for the various committees, social events, sports events, school events, etc. Volunteer hours not only include time volunteered in the school, but hours spent at home doing work for the school or PTSA. This would include everything from baking food for school events, making phone calls, doing projects for a teacher or staff member, time purchasing materials for school or sports events, etc., etc. Keeping a record of your hours allows us to report to MCPS the level of parent involvement at SHS.
Please download this form and record your volunteer hours. At the end of each semester the volunteer coordinator will ask for a collection of hours and forms, all you need to do is complete it and send it email to the chairman.
We are trying to make it a simple as possible to record your service. One form will be used for each person, rather one for every committee you may serve on. Just fill in the dates you’ve worked, the committee and/or work you did, and the hours spent doing it. (The first line is an example of how to record your hours.)
Please email the completed forms when requested – to: Belinda Wasserman bbwasserman@verizon.net or mail them to the school.
