Parental Involvement

Tonight at Open House I was asked to provide more information regarding parental involvement opportunities:

Room Parent - coordinates activities such as classroom parties and field trips.  This may include calling other parents to ensure that we have all needed supplies or that we have enough drivers for a trip.  The room parent may also help with tasks such as making copies or tearing out workbook pages.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PTLS - a wonderful opportunity to get to know other parents in the community while helping to improve the overall success of our school.

See You at the Pole - a student led event that requires adults the afternoon before and the morning of the event.  Adults would facilitate students as they prepare food in the kitchen and distribute the food to guests in the morning.

Fall Festival - an annual event that is an alternative to Halloween.  Parents are usually asked to help with booths, collecting tickets, distributing food/drinks, etc.  It is a fun and safe alternative to trick-or-treating.

Christmas Party - parents may help plan and coordinate activities and types of food.  Assistance in distributing food to students and clean up afterwards would be appreciated.

Annual Benefit Gala/Spring Auction - last year each class was asked to create a basket with a theme for the silent auction.  Additionally, a parent helped in creating trinkets that were to be individually sold.  Lastly, parents assisted in the development of a class project that was entered into the live auction.  Mr. Pool has plans that would be less taxing on the parents and possibly more profitable.  More details later as they become available.

Alleluia Party - parents may help plan and coordinate activities and types of food. Assistance in distributing food to students and clean up afterwards would be appreciated.

Concordia Field Day - a three-day annual trip that includes visiting museums, exhibits, and other educational sites that are tied into the school curriculum.  The second day involves competing in academic, athletic, and fine arts events against other Lutheran schools in Texas.  The final day is spent at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.  Parents are needed to chaperone and sponsorships are welcome to help meet expenses.

Eighth Grade Graduation - parents are needed to decorate, plan, and coordinate for this special event.

If you would like further information, please feel free to contact me.
