Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School will host its annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on Thursday, April 24th at 5:30 pm in the ‘Commons’, celebrating the efforts of our volunteers this past year at countless events and activities benefiting the students and school. The selfless efforts of our volunteers breathe life into many of the programs offered at MLWGS.
“Volunteers play a crucial role at MLWGS, enriching the academic and extracurricular experience for students while supporting the school’s mission of excellence,” said Acting Director Dr. Max Smith. “Parents, alumni, and community members contribute their time and expertise in various capacities, from assisting with events and fundraising to mentoring students and enhancing classroom learning. Their dedication helps sustain programs such as clubs, academic competitions, and cultural activities, fostering a vibrant and dynamic school environment. By giving their time and skills, volunteers strengthen the connection between the school and the broader community, ensuring that students receive the support and opportunities they need to thrive.”
A special thank you goes to Ms. Valenta Williams and Ms. Ginger O’Neil of the MLWGS Foundation for their coordination and sponsorship of this dinner and the invitation lists. The MLWGS Foundation sent out invitations to our volunteers, including those who serve the PTSA, the GS Foundation, the booster groups, the School Advisory Council, classroom instruction, athletics, travel, and more.
Our volunteers make us proud and remind us that community spirit, optimism, and a can-do attitude is a model for all.
