CONFERENCE NIGHTS:  This is one way you can volunteer in the evening at BJH.  On conference night we set up tables at both entrances and have volunteers greeting and handing out fliers.  This is a great way to meet other BJH parents!  Conferences occur three times a year.

CONFERENCE POTLUCKS:  The first conference night of each session we have a potluck dinner for the staff.  Since school gets out at 2:40 and conferences start at 3:20, and run late into the evening, our staff does not get much time to have dinner.  So, our fantastic BJH parents generously contribute towards a dinner for them with their food or monetary donations.

·        Time commitment:  none

DANCES:  Even though your students might say that they don’t want their mom or dad at a school dance, please reconsider.  Your task at the dance can take you away from the dance floor and put you more “behind the scenes.” You might be taking tickets, working coat check or concessions, or patrolling bathrooms and halls.
