Jordan Evans and her family have been a valued part of the SCS community for 3 years. She has volunteered as a room mom and is an active member of the PTO. Mrs. Evans especially enjoys volunteering at school events as she says they are a wonderful way to support the work of the school and to connect with the school community.

Here is what she has to say about volunteering at SCS, “The most rewarding part of volunteering has been the opportunity to support the teachers and staff who nurture and care for our children every day. Being present allows me to see firsthand the dedication, patience, and encouragement they bring to the classroom. It is a blessing to give back, even in a small way, to the school community that pours so much into my child each day.”

Thank you Mrs. Evans!!!

This is the Egan family’s first year at SCS, and Mrs. Egan has already jumped right into volunteering. She is a PTO board member, kindergarten classroom volunteer, and has even collaborated with the art teachers and the kindergarten and preschool students to create a beautiful work of art for the Gala auction. From the very beginning, she and her family have felt truly blessed to be part of SCS.

Here is what she has to say about volunteering at SCS, “Volunteering at SCS has been an incredibly rewarding experience – it is such a gift to be actively present in our children’s day-to-day lives and to have a front-row seat to their growth and experiences. Beyond that, it’s a meaningful way to support a school community that truly values connection, faith, and service.”

Bonnie Shine has been a familiar face at SCS for decades. Ms. Shine was an SCS employee for 20 years and now she spends her time volunteering and substituting at the school she loves.

You may have seen Ms, Shine at the recent Festival & Auction enjoying one of her favorite SCS tasks – spinning cotton candy!

Here’s what she had to say about Sarasota Christian, “There is no better school on the planet! Why would you send your children to a school where they are just a number? It’s much better to be a part of the SCS family/ community where faculty and staff truly care about the students.”

Mrs. Atkins had this to say about volunteering at SCS, “Volunteering at SCS is such a meaningful way to get connected. The teachers and staff are welcoming and I always walk away feeling encouraged and grateful. Being involved allows you to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of these students and families. The most rewarding part of volunteering at SCS has been building relationships with the teachers, staff, other parents and students. Volunteering has allowed me to support the school while teaching my children that serving is one way we love God and love people.”

Mrs. Helmuth has volunteered at SCS for the past seven years doing everything from serving as a Gala committee member to being the PTO President and everything in between! Most recently, she went above and beyond by leading our Christmas Store, pouring her time, energy, and heart into every detail. This year’s store was a successful experience thanks to her leadership, organization, and servant spirit. 

If you are considering volunteering at SCS, Mrs. Helmuth offers this encouragement, “ I have met countless friends through volunteering at SCS for the last seven years and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.”

These two incredible leaders have poured their time, energy, and hearts into running the middle school Young Life program, WyldLife, not only last year but again this school year. Their consistent presence and joyful leadership have made WyldLife a welcoming and meaningful space for our middle school students to connect, grow, and have fun. Their selfless giving and genuine care for the students speak volumes, and their impact is felt far beyond Wednesday afternoons.

SCS is truly grateful for Eldon and Phile’s servant hearts, faithful leadership, and unwavering generosity. Thank you both for making a difference in the lives of our students. You are a true blessing to our community!

Mr. Carr generously gives his time every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in the Senior Capstone program, sharing his wisdom, experience, and encouragement with our seniors. His steady presence and thoughtful mentorship make a lasting impact as students prepare for life beyond SCS.

More than just a volunteer, Mr. Carr is a source of positivity and inspiration. Whether he’s in the middle of mentoring, or simply crossing paths in the lecture hall, every interaction with him leaves students and staff alike feeling uplifted and motivated. His willingness to invest in the next generation—week after week—is a true gift to our community.

Thank you, Mr. Carr, for the meaningful difference you make in the lives of our students. SCS is better because of you!

This group of dedicated parents served in the kitchen during our recent high school retreat. They cooked, served food, washed dishes, swept and mopped floors, and carried out the trash all so that our 10th through 12th grade students could have a memorable experience. These parent volunteers were the first ones up, making breakfast and the last ones at camp cleaning up, and they did it all with smiles and laughter. They truly modeled our school’s “commitment to serve”.
