Support DSHA

Volunteer

VOLUNTEERS ARE SO VERY IMPORTANT, BUT 2020-21 IS LOOKING VERY DIFFERENT FOR ALL OF US!

Under normal conditions volunteers are an essential part of many activities at DSHA. From stuffing envelopes to chaperoning dances, helping with the Auction or Parent Association - we could not do what we do without you! But the restrictions placed on us due to COVID-19 have limited our ability to have many people in our building. In order to keep our community healthy and lower risks we are reducing the number of volunteers and adjusting our traditional activities to meet city and state guidelines. Below is a list of opportunities we need help with currently AND a longer list of volunteer opportunities usually available to parents. Click on any that might be interesting to you to learn more and check back often for any changes.
