Log your Volunteer Hours
Remember to log your volunteer hours via our online recording form. After the quarter ends we will begin generating and printing our second quarter volunteer reports that will show your progress towards the goal. For those that don't plan to spend a lot of hours on one specific fundraiser, you should have about 18 hours accrued thus far to stay on track to meet your 35 hours/year goal. We appreciate all those that submit their hours in a timely manner to ensure accurate information reflected in their account over the course of this school year.
Also, please remember that FAW Service Scholarship families are required to accumulate $50 in profit from the SCRIP program. Did you designate where you would like any additional SCRIP earnings to go, via this Form?
