        <p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Stephenson Elementary School would not be what it is today without the help of our incredible volunteers. Many of our enrichment programs, activities, and fundraisers can happen only with help from our volunteers. Unfortunately, programs have been dropped when we don’t have any coordinators or enough volunteers. Please consider your time, and give back what you can to our school and to our children.</span></p>
<hr />
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt">Did you know that students with parents involved in their education are more likely to:</span>  
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt">•Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs; <br />
•Be promoted, pass their classes, and earn credits; <br />
•Attend school regularly; <br />
•Have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school; and <br />
•Graduate and go on to postsecondary education</span></p>
