COMMUNITY
Parents in the Classroom
Parental involvement both in and out of the classroom is critical for a child's success. We encourage and invite parents or grandparents to volunteer in our classrooms with reading and other special areas.
We ask that our parent volunteers attend a short training session before joining in the classroom. Please call or email us to find out when the next training is available.

Charity Chase Volunteers:
MSF will have a presence on the race course at Hickory City Park, at the head of the Greenway/Bike Trail (near Hickory Music Factory). We'll be cheering encouragement to the runners.
MSF participants need to be in place, at our spot, by 8 am, as the first runner is expected to reach us close to 8:15 am. The last runner is usually passing us about two hours later.
It's a fun community event and it benefits MSF with a cash donation based on the number of participants from our organization. We hope to have at least 20 volunteers from MSF annually!
Contact us for more information.

"Nature revels in diversity. Just as no two human faces are alike, so each mind is a special creation and builds up a unique system of knowledge... Each has its own special capacities,its own method of organizing its experience, its own flashes of illumination."
