Honoring Parent Volunteers

We are so grateful for the support of our parents at NPHS Inc.  They give of their time as decision-makers on Policy Council and parent committees, in the classrooms, home activities with their children, participate in and assist with planning field trips, help out with special projects and so much more.

During the 2010-2011 program year (July 1, 2010 thru June 30, 2011) 90,966 volunteer hours were recorded!  This total represents volunteer time from not just parents but many grandparents, aunts/uncles and other family members.  Thank you for being so involved and willing to support the goals and objectives of the Head Start and Early Head Start programs!
