Help Wanted!

There are a number of volunteer opportunities coming up at Crocker Farm. Take a look to see where you fit in!

MLK Celebration:
The Assembly Committee and the students put on an incredible Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration every year. They are looking for adults to help with the breakfast and setting up the assembly on Thursday January 15. Contact Kathleen Stinson if you can help out! stinsonk@arps.org.

Our music teacher Ms. Zsigmondi is also looking for someone to film the event for ACTV. If you’re handy around the video camera please let her know! The school has equipment or you could use your own. mccravea@arps.org is her email.

Scholastic Book Fair:
In May we’ll have our annual Book Fair which earns over $1000 in books for our teachers. It’s headed up by a team of volunteers & this year we are looking for 2 new co-coordinators to “job shadow” Stacy & Doreen (whos kids are graduating this year). The Book Fair is a quick, but intense event. Learning the ropes this year will make things much smoother for next year. Note that this event will not happen without new leadership. Contact Erika if you’re interested (studiozed@comcast.net).

Wednesday Clubs:
The PGO is working with Mr. Morris to start an after-school clubs program. We need grown ups to share their skills! Do you knit? Love to jump rope? Like to draw? Enjoy baking? Play chess? Have fun with math games? or know someone who does? The clubs will run from 1:20 – 3:00 for 7 Wednesdays starting in February. We are hoping to have small stipends available for anyone who runs a club. Please get in touch with Mr. Morris, Becky (beckydemling@yahoo.com) or Erika if you have an idea to share (studiozed@comast.net).
