Sweetheart Soiree Volunteers 2026

 

Volunteer Opportunities 

The Sweetheart Soiree is a cherished St. Barnabas tradition—one that comes to life through the time, energy, and collaboration of our school families. This special evening doesn’t happen without many helping hands, and it’s a wonderful way to connect, give back, and create lasting memories for our students.


Sixth Grade families play a key role in bringing this event together, and we especially encourage our 6th Grade parents to join in the fun and take part in the planning and execution.


Whether you have a little time or a lot, your help truly makes an impact. Please consider volunteering for one of the opportunities below and be part of making this night unforgettable!
