Volunteer to be a ROOM PARENT!

We're piloting a new "room parent" program for our RE classes. The primary mission of the room parent program is to build community and improve communications within our RE classes. The room parent will not be required to be in class on Sundays. You'll have three main responsibilities:
  1. Help set up an "opt-in" email list for parents in your class to communicate with each other, and collect email addresses. Then, encourage your class's teaching team to introduce themselves to the parents on that list.
  2. Keep track of your class's snack sign up and remind your families to sign up for vacancies.
  3. Organize one or two social events for the families in your class to get together- this could be as easy as an after-services playdate on the playground! You can also organize something with the same age class at the other service.
Please contact D. Ohlandt ASAP to volunteer.
