Volunteer's Tea 2016
Monday 5th December 2016 was International Volunteer Day, established by the United Nations in 1985 as an international observance day to celebrate the power and potential of volunteerism. To celebrate at Etz Chaim, we held our own Volunteer tea to say thank you to our wonderful volunteers.
We are extremely fortunate to have a large number of volunteers who make a huge contribution to our school community in a variety of ways. Our volunteers give up their time and help make our school a better place. Our school would literally not be the same without them and we are extremely thankful and appreciative of the time they give to make the children’s learning more effective and enjoyable.
