Volunteers

Volunteering at Lily B. is a great way to get to know other parents, students, teachers AND help our school be the best it can be.  To get started, first complete a background check online. This is required every year for all people volunteering for the school.  

Please sign in as a volunteer in the office before starting your volunteer activity and sign out as you are leaving.
