Volunteering

Community volunteers enrich our learners KJDS experience. Bringing wisdom, friendship, and skill, volunteers run our KJDS library, support our teachers and volunteer as part of our Special Friends Program.

“I became a KJDS volunteer six years ago as a special friend and librarian. My daughter, Bekka Blanchard is the 2/3 teacher and I have two grandchildren as KJDS students. KJDS is my happy place. I’m in the library 3 to 4 days a week. There is no sound better than hearing the joy and laughter of the kids that I hear from the library. The entire atmosphere of the school is fun and loving. I know every day I’m there, I will get hugs and high fives from so many kids. The special friend events are exactly that… really special and meaningful The relationships that are formed with my special friends are priceless. I am so grateful and feel privileged to have such a special place to spend my retirement.” - Jan Bishop
