support
As part of the tuition structure of Saint Demetrios Pre-School, families contribute 10 hours of service per family each school year! You can help out in many ways, and if you volunteer during summer, your hours count for the next year. Remember, hours can't carry over or be transferred between families. Both parents get credit if they work the same event. Just ensure your activities are school-related and approved. Let's make our school even better together!
