To sign up for the activities below, head to http://myvolunteerpage.com
- Lunch Helpers: Now through Friday, September 22 (11:10 – 11:40am each day). It takes a while for the 1st-grade and Kindergarten students to settle into the routine, and many need help opening items in their lunches and reminders to eat quickly.
- Read to Me (Kindergarten): Volunteer for a 30-minute shift to read picture books to Kindergarten students. Must be trained first. Contact Kristine Edmunds to setup a short training session or ask any questions (kristine_edmunds@beaverton.k12.or.us).
- Running Club: Help students get out and run on the new track on Tuesdays and Thursdays (11am-noon; noon-1pm).
- Library Volunteers: Do you want to help re-shelf books and help students check out books? There are many shifts available with flexible options! For more info email Desiree Wolfe (desireemw@icloud.com).
- Passport Club: Interested in quizzing students on their geography facts? It’s a great way to meet students and it’s only one day a month. Email Lori Miller if you’re interested in helping on the passport team. passportclub@terralindaptc.org.
