Be a School Volunteer!
At the Winchester School we recognize the important service that a volunteer program can contribute to our school. We know that it can enrich the learning experiences of students, provide role models for them, utilize the human resources in our community, give school personnel more time to devote to teaching, more effectively meet the needs of individual students, enrich the lives of the volunteers, and strengthen school-community relations. If you are interested in becoming a school volunteer, please call the school at 603-239-4381 or email us at volunteer@wnhsd.org. Our volunteer opportunities include:
Individual, small-group or classroom assistance, either on a regular basis or for occasional special projects
After-school clubs and activities (knitting, cooking, woodshop, etc.) through our ACCESS program
Teacher assistance (bulletin boards, running off papers, preparing classroom materials, etc.) Some of these activities can be done at home!
