Thank you Volunteers! [Video]

Each spring, the Shorecrest Community Association hosts an appreciation breakfast to thank all school volunteers for what they did to make the school year so special. Although the annual Volunteer Breakfast was canceled, we still wanted to celebrate everyone who gave their time and talents to Shorecrest this year.

The video below has special messages from the SCA Co-Presidents and kudos from Headmaster Mike Murphy.

The volunteer breakfast is also when the annual recipient(s) of the Janet Root Volunteer Service Award is announced each year. One of last year’s winners, Anne Dowling, presented the 2019-20 award in the video below. The winners were all surprised with gifts at their homes earlier this week.

The Janet Root Volunteer of the Year Award was established by the Shorecrest Parent Association in 1984, as a commemoration of Janet’s countless volunteer efforts and as a means of recognizing other outstanding Shorecrest volunteers. We continue Janet’s legacy by honoring those who have shown an outstanding volunteer commitment to Shorecrest.

"This year there were so many strong candidate for this award, amazing people who gave tirelessly," Anne explained, "But there were two very different who personified the best of Janet Root, especially Janet's work ethic and ability to inspire others to be more - and be their best. Between the 2020 award winners they cover single Shorecrest committee and bring over 30 years of combined volunteer service to Shorecrest. despite their divergent interests and skill sets, these two women share two very important traits - their selfless dedication and an all-giving, no glory attitude. Second, their ability to inspire others to volunteer, and make the people they work with feel appreciated and valued. They are the whole package! These women have touched so many people.

"Please join me in congratulating two noble leaders, whose contributions deserve a cacophony of sustained clapping - Andi Mullins and Karen Quilty. Congratulations to you both!"
