Parent Volunteer Association (PVA)

The Parent Volunteer Association (PVA) is an essential part of the Sacred Heart Grade School community. Through time, talent, and teamwork, our parent volunteers help bring to life the programs, events, and daily support that enrich our students’ educational experience.

Volunteer Opportunities
