Volunteer Opportunities
“Volunteers are not paid-
not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.” Author
unknown.
The Newcastle Elementary PTSA depends on volunteers like you
to be able to provide our events, services, and
programs to students, teachers and families through-out the
school year. We encourage every parent to volunteer,
whether you have many hours to give or just a few. You
will find information about volunteer opportunities through:
- The Volunteer Opportunities Form which comes home in the first
school day packets. This form describes volunteer
opportunities anticipated through-out the year. You simply
mark those volunteer activities that you think you can help with
and send the form back to school with your child. The
information from this form is provided to the chairpersons of
the various committees.
- The weekly school & PTSA newsletter, PTSA Cub Mail E-news, and
room parent E-mails. Through-out the year, as
volunteer needs are identified for PTSA programs & events,
requests will be sent out through the newsletter and
e-mails.
- Program Chairs. If you know of a PTSA program that interests
you, please contact the program chairperson directly for
more information on how you can help out.
Remember that parents & guardians,
relatives including grandparents, and community members are all
welcome to volunteer to help. If you need help identifying a
good volunteer opportunity for your schedule or interests, or if you
just need more information about current volunteer
opportunities, please contact Lynne Hepp at thehepps4@msn.com
.
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, have fun and also benefit
the school community.
New
Auction Chair!
We are pleased to announce that Sherrie Corrington has generously agreed to be our
new Auction Chairperson for next year's 2011 auction! If you are interested in volunteering
for the auction, please contact Sherrie directly at
sherrie.corrington@comcast.net
Congratulations and thank you Sherrie!
Back to
School...
Summer tans, new shoes, seeing old
pals... Those are just a few things that come
to mind when you think of "back to school" in September. But
put yourself in the shoes of a Kindergartner or new student, and you
will find you may be nervous, lost and that buying lunch is a
daunting process! We are looking for at least six "guides" for
morning d/o and afternoon p/u,as well as, five lunch helpers.
These are fun jobs, especially for parents of children in
Kindergarten! If you'd like to volunteer to help during the
first few weeks back to school, please contact Sharon Levy by June
1st at info@newcastleptsa.org
2010-2011 PTSA needs you!
Volunteering is a great way to show our children we support them and their education. The PTSA cannot provide anything for our school without its volunteers. Whether helping for an hour a year or several hours a month, volunteers are the lifeblood of Newcastle's PTSA. Research proves that parent involvement has a positive effect on student success. When parents are involved in their children's education their student achieves more, the school performs better and the moral of the teachers improves. Ultimately, communities are stronger when parents are involved. Please contact Staci Schnell staci@maildrop.org if you would like more information about getting involved.
I'm looking for a Co-President next year too! Please call 425-687-0807 so we can talk!
