Volunteers In Action
Lunch Support
To give faculty and staff more time to plan for classes, eat their own lunch, and have some rest time, parents and guardians volunteer to supervise in the Cafeteria once per week.
Annual Gala
This annual event brings our whole community together in support of Catherine Cook. Volunteers help plan the Gala, collect donations, set up the event space, and more.
Service Committee
In addition to serving the Catherine Cook community, we also seek volunteers to serve the greater Chicago community through special events like meal packing, book drives, and beach clean-ups.
Ice Cream Social
Each year, Catherine Cook kicks off its Annual Giving Campaign with an all-school Ice Cream Social! Many volunteers are needed to help set up, pass out ice cream, support activities, and more.
