Good afternoon!
We had a very disappointing turnout at this morning's meeting, so we wanted to reach out to see if it was simply a scheduling conflict or if it reflects what volunteer availability may look like for the upcoming school year.
As we begin planning for next year, we're trying to gauge whether we'll have enough volunteers to continue offering the activities and support we've been able to provide in the past. We have unfortunately lost several of our dedicated volunteers as their students have moved on to high school, and we need to know if we have enough new faces willing to step in.
Our greatest needs are:
* Teacher Appreciation Lunches (once a month, approximately 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.) 9/16, 10/21, 11/18, 12/16, 1/20, 2/17, 3/17, 5/3-5/6
* Snack Cart (most Fridays, approximately 12:45–2:50 p.m.)
We understand that many parents work, and we truly appreciate everyone who donates snacks and other items—that support is incredibly valuable! However, we also need a few more volunteers who can help in person when they're available.
The Snack Cart is our primary fundraiser, and the money raised directly benefits our students and staff. Last year, it helped purchase new books for the English department, black lights for pep rallies, teacher appreciation lunches, PBIS incentives, and Field Day activities.
Our goal has always been to say "yes" whenever a need arises, and we'd love to continue doing that. But without replacing some of the volunteers we're losing, we simply can't promise we'll be able to maintain the same level of involvement this year.
Please know that we're not asking anyone to commit to every Friday or every monthly lunch. Even volunteering occasionally makes a tremendous difference. The more volunteers we have, the lighter the commitment becomes for everyone.
If you've ever considered getting involved, this is a wonderful time to jump in. We'd love to have your help and continue making a positive impact for our students, teachers, and school community.
Thank you for your continued support!
