Why Volunteer?
For 25 years, LISD’s numerous volunteers and mentors have made a
difference in the lives of students - contributing to the success of our students
from pre-K through graduation. This year’s theme, "Leander ISD
Volunteers: You Take the Cake," points to just that fact. Leander ISD would
not be the great school district that it is without our volunteers and their
countless of hours of service to our students.
Why Should I Volunteer?
“When do I have time to volunteer,” you ask yourself. “I am too busy being a
parent!” Volunteering is important for all of us. Volunteering at your child’s
campus may be one of the most important, life-altering things you can ever do
for your child. Why you ask? Because it sends a very clear message to them
(and other students for that matter) that you’re devoting your most precious
commodity — yourself — to something that’s important to you — their
education. It shows them you support them and their teachers and lets them
know that what they do matters to you.
It’s all about them
We’re talking about our teachers and staff… the very teachers and staff who
nurture your child everyday throughout the school year. We need your helping
hands and smiling faces on our campuses to help lighten the load for our staff
giving them more time in the classroom. We appreciate your time and talents
in Leander ISD schools.
We’re number one
The number one reason people don’t volunteer is because no one asked them.
Well, we are asking for you to be involved! Your time and knowledge is
needed and wanted by our staff and students. The diversity of our community
and the experiences you can share with our students is valuable to us. Whether
it’s a little time or a lot of time – on campus or at home – mom, dad or
grandparent – WE NEED YOU! We could not do it without each of you!
