We consider all families to be General Members of the PVO. We do not typically hold in-person meetings but have myriad ways to volunteer throughout the school year. ### **What is the mission of the PVO?** The mission of the PVO is to build community at Faith Christian School by fostering relationships and encouraging families, faculty, staff, and students through prayer and action. ### **What does the PVO do?** Lots! This year, some of the events and activities we are responsible for are Harvest Hangout (all-school fall festival), Lunch Duty (we provide volunteers so that a hot lunch option can be offered), Christmas Decorating, Quarterly Lower School socials (two park afternoons, two skate parties), Weekly Prayer Team meetings, Faculty & Staff Appreciation Week (February), Special Speaker events, Middle & Upper School Parent Socials (new this year!), the Adopt-A-Teacher program, Lower School Support Our Athletes Nights, Lower School Service Club, and more! ### **I want to help, but my schedule is busy during the day. Is there space for me?** Yes! We welcome your help during the school day as well as after school and in the evenings. Throughout the year different events and activities will occur and we sincerely hope to have you participate in a way that's best for your family's schedule. ##### May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind & one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Romans 15:5-6 ### PVO Board Roles & Opportunities There are several opportunities available to help us build the Faith Christian School community in the upcoming school year. Please be on the lookout for opportunities to participate in PVO events!   Many parents (and local grandparents!) choose to volunteer for Lunch Duty, which allows the hot lunch program to function. Volunteering at lunch duty is a great way to connect with other parents, get to know staff and faculty, and demonstrate to your child the value of serving others. We welcome all volunteers to this role as it is a weekly need. Many parents choose to serve on a regular basis, ensuring that even new families will be able to step into a new opportunity with confidence.
