Giving Back Makes all the Difference, Volunteer!
The Camdenton School District’s Volunteers in Public Schools Program (VIPS) is looking for volunteers to provide an extra helping hand during the school year. The VIPS program is made up of many volunteers, and the need continues to grow. Anyone interested in listening to students read, helping teachers with classroom projects, giving clerical assistance, or supporting our staff in the many ways available to volunteers, please call the Camdenton School District Office of Volunteer Services at (573) 346-9243. As a VIPS volunteer, you can help the teacher provide additional individualized attention to students, stimulate interest and motivation, and reinforce skills. You can also supplement and enrich the educational program by bringing a special talent or skill to school, helping with classroom preparation, or providing clerical assistance teachers may need. The VIPS program reaches all the Camdenton District Schools. Keep in mind that wherever you live, there is an opportunity to volunteer!

The Buddy Pack and School Market program, in partnership with the local Food Bank, provides support to students throughout the district who are facing food insecurity. Studies have shown that addressing this need increases test scores and learning ability in the classroom.

The Looking Good program provides nurses with clothing for students who have a spill or accident at school, or need a fresh change of clothes, preventing the need to inconvenience parents at work to bring clothes to school, and reducing the time the student is out of the classroom. This extends to our Laker Closets, which provide
clothing, coats, and shoes for specific students or situations at the counselor’s request.
