Thank you for your generosity!

Expect Respect Volunteers Needed

Our amazing Expect Respect leader, Ami Patel, is moving on as her child finishes 5th grade—so we’re looking for a new volunteer (or two!) to step in.

Expect Respect, part of the Project Cornerstone program, empowers 4th and 5th graders to become school leaders while promoting social-emotional learning and school spirit. From organizing themed activities and donation drives to leading flag salutes and creating holiday cards for the military, this program helps students make a real impact.

There’s exciting potential to grow Expect Respect into an even more dynamic student leadership experience—like a mini student council!

Here is some more information on Expect Respect!

Interested in getting involved? We’d love to have you! Please email losalamitospta@gmail.com.
