Volunteer Opportunites

It was nice to meet many of you last week at Open House. Thanks for everyone who was able to sign the volunteer lists. Many of you expressed an interest in volunteering in our classroom. I have some volunteer opportunities that need to be filled soon. Take a look and email me soon. I'll work with your availability.

  • We are still in need of a Main Room Parent. You would be the liaison between PTA sponsored activities and our classroom.  You'll receive a list of parents who are able to volunteer, so you can get help with your assignments. There is a Room Parent Orientation coming up soon where you'll learn about what you'll need to help with throughout the year. It's completely acceptable to co - Room Parent if you know another parent in the class who might like to share the responsibility.
  • We need someone to teach Meet the Masters this year. Helping with Meet the Masters requires a couple of hours a month, and you actually get to come in and teach your child's class and art project. You don't necessarily need to be "artistic", and you'll have step by step directions on how to teach each project. Michelle Wolfenbarger heads this program, and you can email her at wolfenbargerfamily@mac.com or call her at 801-944-5422(home) or 801-243-2657(cell). Please let me know, too, so I can call off my search.
  • I need someone to come into the classroom to help me with all the "new school year" paperwork. Each student brings has some documents that need to be sorted, tracked and filed. 
  • I would love to have someone come on Friday afternoons to score spelling tests and help other odds and ends from the week.
  • I would also appreciate if someone who could come in on Monday's to track Road to Success, our independent reading rewards program at Butler.
  • We will start practicing for our Presidential Fitness Tests next week. Some of these tests are one by one, so it involves a lot of waiting around on the students' part. I thought it would be much more fun this year if someone could come in and lead half the class in a P.E. activity, while I test the other half . Then we'll switch. You would be working with about 12 students at a time. Our P.E. time is on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday's from 11:15-11:45. Therefore you would have each group for about 15 minutes.
  • When we test for the Fitness tests, we would like to have some volunteers help with that as well. The testing will happen at the end of the month. Details will follow.
Thank you for your time. We need you, and additional opportunities will come up if you can't help with any of these. My email is nancy.bauman@canyonsdistrict.org
