3. HELP WITH YOUR HOBBY!
What is it? Handy? Love to get outdoors? Do you have
a creative side? We’d love you to help with things like
playground maintenance, gardening, furniture build-
ing, graphic design, and the like!
Please consider volunteering to be a class parent for
your child’s class. This is something that does not re-
quire a lot of time but is a great way to get involved and
help enhance your child’s experience as well as that of
everyone at the school. Here’s what that entails from
you:
Class parents will
• Serve as a conduit between the PTO and that class.
Class parents will funnel information/feedback
from the parents to the PTO and from the PTOto
the parents
• Coordinate and/or advise parents on teacher ap-
preciation gifts at 1/2 year (Chanukah) and at the
end of the year (June)
• At the start of the year, meet with the teacher to de-
termine what help the teacher needs from the class
parent body (i.e., volunteers, etc.)
Bring the gift of reading to our students! Pick out books
at the Brooklyn Library in the specific subject areas
our children choose in class. Who knows? Maybe you’ll
even want to arrange a Book Fair! • Keep aware of PTO and school events and actively
promote parent participation and attendance
• Serve as the link to the chesed committee - email
the class if there is a life event (birth, etc.). Morahs
to give this information to the class parent.
6. UNIQUELY YOU! • Organize (or host, for those brave enough) a class
community building event such as parent get to-
gethers, picnic in the park, impromptu play date for
the class at a local playground, etc.
4. COFFEE & CUTTING!
Help make curriculum items by cutting and laminating
our works, while sipping on a cup o’ joe and schmooz-
ing with other parents! This is a fun and unique oppor-
tunity to get fam iliar with your child’s learning materi-
als while providing a great service to the school.
5. BECOME A LIBRARY VOLUNTEER
Here’s your chance to enrich our students’ experience
by sharing with us your passion or hobby! An animal
show for Parshas Noach? An in-class sing along? Or
how about a recycling project? Flower arranging for
Shavuos? Your imagination is the limit.
7. RUNNING ERRANDS
Do you have a big car to help transport or pick up last
minute things? Can you help with toiveling? Buiding
furniture? Moving? You know, the necessary hands on
deck... WE NEED YOU!
