Volunteer at Thornton Creek

Community involvement has always been crucial to the success of our program. Volunteers provide the connecting link between the community and the school, and work cooperatively with staff and students. Our goal is to develop strong relationships among students, staff, and guardians to create a close-knit, cooperative learning environment that fosters the growth and development of each child.

Our Thornton Creek community benefits from many volunteers who support our school.

Volunteers must complete the SPS Volunteer Application

It may take up to two weeks to process volunteer applications. If you have questions about your volunteer status please email or call the Thornton Creek Office. Thank you for you support.
