All Volunteers Must Re-Register

CMS has updated its Volunteer Management System. All CMS volunteers will need to re-register in the new system. Please go to the CMS Volunteer website to re-register.

CMS has also updated the volunteer regulations, so there are no longer four volunteer levels. Volunteer levels are now "Supervised," "Unsupervised without driving," or "Unsupervised with driving."

If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to osp@cms.k12.nc.us or contact the volunteer coordinator at your school (Suzy Aldridge at 980-343-6371 or suzy.aldridge@cms.k12.nc.us).

Please register ASAP! Filling out the application takes only a few minutes, and the screening process is faster now, but the NYC trip is quickly approaching so don't delay.

Thank you to all our volunteers for everything you do.


Harris Teeter "Together In Education" Program
VIC

It is time to relink your Harris Teeter VIC Cards. This is a very profitable fundraiser that costs us nothing. PHS band boosters can start earning money August 1st on all linked VIC cards, and Harris Teeter is giving double points for all purchases made in August. Please sign up at your earliest convenience so that we may take full advantage of the double points. You can link your card online here, or give the Harris Teeter PHS Band Boosters number 1906 to the cashier the next time you check out. Note: You must link your VIC card every year, so if you linked to us in the past, you need to relink. Again, the school code to link it to is 1906.


Food Lion "Shop & Share" Program
