There are some things that money cannot buy and one of the most valuable contributions that families can make to our school is to share the gift of their time and expertise. Parental input is invaluable and helps shape the school. Parents who share the gift of time and talent with the children keep special memories of experiences and friendships that last a life time.
A few ways in which you can help CHMS, BVI are listed below:
· Lend support to fundraising efforts.
· Organize field trips and special events.
· Help in garden (Adopt a Plot Scheme).
· Share special talents and special interests such as craft, language, music or other.
