Calling all Parents!

This afternoon the staff got together to talk about how today went and all the other things to make a school great, and one of the reminders was to find someone who is interested in being our room parent.  This can be one person per job, or the jobs can be shared by two people, also.

Here is what was posted on IA's parent site ParentTreehouse.com :

1) Room Parent who helps in the classroom and works with other classroom volunteers


2) Fundraising Parent to help organize “family night” fundraisers and yearly Scavenger Hunt fundraiser

3) Fieldtrip Parent to help organize regular rides and chaperones for your child's off-campus events.
 
I would love to know if you are interested in taking on one of these jobs.  Please contact me for more informaiton.  Thank you so much for all your support and contributions to the school already!  Love, Jennifer
 
PS Below are some other Volunteer options in our classroom.  This is posted outside our door, as well.

  1. Hi Jennifer! Congrats on doing such a swell job and being so interactive with your friends. I think two way communication is so important for these young minds.
    I have volunteered for reading time. I would love to be a classroom parent as well whenever possible. But I will be wearing my baby and hopefully that would work out fine.
    Cheers!
