Hello Kindie Moms!
Can
you believe this year is already half over? Didn't you just love the
special things like the Halloween parade and Christmas Chapel back in
December??
You
still have so much to look forward to in Kindergarten yet...just
thinking about Mother's Day alone is enough to make me weepy with
nostalgia...
I'm
writing today because I wanted to tell you: did you know that it's
around this time of year that the Parents Association Committees start
thinking about NEXT school year?! And did you know that as a parent,
you are automatically a member of the Parents' Association and VERY
welcome to volunteer for these jobs? Volunteering is a wonderful way to
learn more about the school, to feel like a part of the community, and
to make some awesome friends...it has really made a difference in my
experience as a Collegiate parent!
I especially wanted to tell you that there are some volunteer opportunities that are not offered
to Kindergarten parents but are available in First Grade and beyond,
such as PAVE. PAVE is the "Parent Assistance Volunteer Experience" and
is the committee that helps out by working lunch duty, recess duty, and
more. These sign ups can be found by clicking on the "Lower School"
link on the Volunteer Opportunities page.
Here is the Volunteer Page link:
But don't worry if
you don't sign up right this minute--these sign ups are ALWAYS open and
are checked all the time by the committee leads--you do not have to
worry about missing your chance if you don't commit right now! But if
there's something that you really want to throw your hat in the
ring for, go ahead and take a look at the sign ups--there's a ton to do
and we need a ton of people pitching in to keep Collegiate the amazing
place it is!
You
can also find great descriptions of the various Parents' Association
jobs and committees in the GREEN pages of your school DIRECTORY. You
may have never known that information was in there, but it's really
quite helpful and informative, so take a look! And if I can help answer
any questions you have, please reach out to me personally. I
might not know the answer myself (there's plenty I am still learning
about), but I will find someone who does.
Thanks
for sending your children to Collegiate and for choosing to be part of
this community--I hope to see you at Cougar Classic or around school
soon!
Charla
