| Volunteers in Parochial Schools(VIPS) is a committee of the Parent School Organization (PSO). Our goal is to enrich the learning experience of our children by involving parents in the support of teachers and staff. As requests from teachers and staff arise, we act as a clearinghouse to provide names of volunteers whose skills, talents, experiences, etc. match those needs. If you would like to share your time, talents, and experiences with students and staff as a VIPS volunteer, please:
