Parents get involved with Lafayette activities

Shelia Jones is a parent volunteer who has been working at the school store for nine years. “I started working at the school store in 2008 when my oldest son was a freshman. I wanted to be apart of the school community, and I enjoy seeing the other students,” Jones said.

November 16 is National Parent Involvement Day, and everyone knows that one parent who volunteers at every school event.

Sheila Jones is that parent.

“I started working at the school store in 2008 when my oldest son was a freshman. I wanted to be apart of the school community, and I enjoy seeing the other students,” Jones said.

Jones works the school store on Thursdays during all lunch shifts, and she says that it’s the students that make her job worth it.

“I do love seeing my daughter and her friends, but I like greeting the individuals that may not have anybody with them when they walk in,” Jones said. “They brighten up my day, and I’d like to make theirs a good one too.”

One of Jones’ favorite parts of volunteering is being apart of the school.

“I love being part of the student body, and sometimes the administration comes in, so it’s nice to greet them as well. I also love meeting new Lancer parents since I’m a constant on Thursdays,” Jones said.
