Covid created an unintentional divide through closures and social distancing. We are noticing people are not sure how to get involved in the school with their children.
We want to invite you in, to let us partner with you in the education of these amazing humans you are raising.
Unsure what you could bring to the school environment? Worried that your skills are not what we are looking for? Can we reassure you that that is absolutely untrue??
Parents, guardians, aunts, uncles, older siblings, community members, you all make a difference in the lives of each of these children daily. Showing an interest in their education and being comfortable in their school building sets them up for success in ways you cannot imagine.
There are so many ways to volunteer! Reading with students, making copies for teachers, preparing supplies for activities and art projects, helping 5-year-olds with paint two or three at a time to make Mother's Day projects, taking home laminated pages to cut out, really the opportunities are as varied as the people that volunteer in schools! The time commitment can be as much or as little as works for you.
Reach out to your student's teacher, the office, the volunteer coordinator Mr. Tobin, or your favorite adult at the school to explore ways you can have a glimpse into what goes into a school day and feel included in the Whitman Community!
(Volunteer clearance is required to volunteer, but quite a few of you are cleared because of field trips and we would love to work with you more!)
We hope to see you!
