Damien High School

Parent volunteers are needed to deliver yard signs to welcome our incoming class of 2025! Admission letters will be mailed on Friday, March 5th, and we would like to have yard signs placed in the yards (or entries) of our incoming families beginning Friday evening, March 5 (after 5PM) All deliveries must be completed by the evening of Saturday, March 6th. Please contact Carrie Birchler with any questions at 909-333-8723.

-Signs and address lists can be picked up from Carrie Birchler in the 300 building (facing the senior parking lot) anytime AFTER 8:30 AM on Friday, March 5th until approximately 3:30 p.m.

- Signs can be placed AFTER 5:00 p.m. beginning Friday, March 5th. Please DO NOT place the signs before 5:00 p.m.

- Please complete placing your group of signs by Saturday evening, March 6th.

- Distribution lists will be grouped by zip code and every effort will be made to give you a list of families in or near the community you sign up for. We appreciate your flexibility in delivering signs to families as needed to ensure that all incoming students receive a Welcome sign from Damien.

- Initial lists will be created in groups of six (6) homes. If you can deliver to more than one group, please let us know!

- As you deliver your signs, please mark the names off your list. If you encounter incorrect information (wrong address, gated community) please WRITE the details and/or corrections on your sheet and send a copy of your sheet back to Carrie Birchler at birchler@damien-hs.edu or text a photo of your sheet to 909-333-8723 so we can make the corrections in our system.

- Please wear a mask and observe all social distancing guidelines if you wish to introduce yourselves to our newest Spartan families. If you prefer to quietly place the sign for contact-free delivery, that is ok too! You are encouraged to wear your Damien gear during the deliveries. Some volunteers opt to add green and gold balloons to the signs. We only ask that the signs be placed in the front yard or planter facing the street, so that our incoming families see their special welcome signs.

- We ask that current parents be involved in distributing the signs. Students may, of course, join their parents in the visits, but please do not send your sons out to do this task without you.

- HOURS - please log the ACTUAL time spent picking up and delivering the signs for your family service hour credit. In most cases, this will be approximately TWO (2 ) hours of time.

Thank you for being an important part of welcoming new families to our Damien community!
