Each family is expected to do 50 hours of service with a minimum of 5 hours given to either 5t. Philip or 5t. Mary's Parish Festival. For service hours to truly help our school it is important that most of the hours are done for our school and students; therefore a maximum of 10 hours can be done for the parish and the remaining hours must be done for the school

To ensure that we are able to complete school activities and provide help for the teachers throughout the school year, service hours need to be spread over the year with 25 hours done between August and December and25 hours done between January and May ( summer

service hours can be done by special arrangement).

Service Hours can be completed in a wide variety of ways including, but not limited to:


 * Lunch Duty
 * Serving as team parent coordinating
 * Saturday work parties
 * Snacks and transportation for sports
 * Stuffing envelops
 * Cutting out bulletin board items
 * Working at MOM's kitchen or Fish fry
 * Copying and assembling phonics books Working on Golf Tournament or Autumn Nights
 * Other things teachers might need
 * Donating requested items for classrooms - credit given at a rate of $10 per hour
 * Helping with Parish outreach and or school ( credit given at a rate of $10 per hour

If you do not complete your service hours bills will be sent out in Jan and May any difference between our commitment and the hours completed.
