We have a wonderful opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of our students! Our Recess Monitors play a key role in our students' daily routines, offering a sense of safety and stability. We are seeking Christian role models who have a heart for Jesus and children, and who are passionate about building relationships and encouraging students during the most unstructured part of their day.
