Volunteer Opportunities
We are fortunate to have so many great activities at Noe for our children each year. These activities are possible through volunteers and fundraising. Please consider how you may contribute your talents or time. We will work with your schedule.
JV Volleyball Coach for 2008-09 is needed. The season begins the second week of school and goes through the end of September. Practices can be held right after school and games are usually held at 3:30 or 4:00 about twice a week. We would love to have a parent, but also open to a mature college student that knows the game. If you know of anybody that might be interested, please call Mr. Joe Gribbins in the Youth Services Center at 485-8055.
SBDM Parent Representative (Nomination Form is attached )

Opportunities for Individual Fundraising

Office Depot – when you make a purchase, they will designate a portion of the sale to Noe Middle School. When checking out, request Noe Middle School. The cashier will have a list of barcodes for all of the schools.
www.upromise.com – You set up an account and this site contributes funds as you direct to your childs education fund or your childs school. The site receives funds from products you purchase or businesses you frequent. Noe is a registered recipient. You may register your Kroger card, various other stores cards, and credit cards as well to receive Upromise funds.
