Volunteers: People Who Willingly Give Their Time Throughout the school year, many parents of Fort Hunt students lent a hand in various activities ranging from fund raising to clinic aid. These helpful, greatly appreciated people worked their hardest to keep the Fort afloat. Ester Schwentker, an office volunteer and past librarian volunteer states, “I really enjoy working here because it keeps me in contact with the school.” Mrs. Schwentker helped put the library back together after the fire. She now works as an office volunteer who, among other jobs, calls parents when students are absent. Carol Eggelston, an office volunteer of one and a half years states, “It ' s a job that has to be done, so I try to help.” Clinic volunteers helped by taking temperatures, cleaning the clinic and calling parents. Club organizations and Booster Club parents helped by raising money for beneficial and educational trips. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers for the hard work they have contributed throughout the year. rking steadily in the Career Center, Mrs Merrie Jo Perkuchin ds some important information for a student Volunteers 33
