This event takes place in the fall, and it’s focused on projects like painting and gardening at the school site.  You would arrange for supplies, recruit volunteers,  coordinate the event with the city, and oversee the event itself!

Teacher Appreciation Who doesn’t appreciate our teachers? We need 1-2 chairs to show their appreciation by organizing breakfast or lunch every other month for our wonderful teachers and staff, and coordinating the activities of Teacher Appreciation Week in early May. You would advertise, ask for donations and volunteers, and coordinate colorful door banners, meals and special surprises for the week.

Walk and Role to School Do you and your kids walk, scooter or bike to school every day? Do you think it’s important to raise awareness of street safety? Consider chairing our Walk and Role to School days. Typically we host one in the fall and one in the spring. You can coordinate with a program called Street Smarts, and get as creative as you want with advertising and promotion.
