Hi everyone, welcome back to Chinese School! Just a quick heads-up about volunteering this year. We need three parents every week to handle snack sales and keep an eye on the kids in the gym during break time. We’ll be sending out sign-up sheets periodically. We’ll also need some extra hands for a few of our bigger cultural events down the road. Thanks in advance for helping out!
Every week, we sell snacks to the kids for $1 each. All the money we raise goes directly toward the end-of-year gifts for our teachers.
We need volunteers to help with two things (and it’s totally fine if one person wants to handle both):
Bringing the snacks: Drop them off right at 10 AM. A Costco variety box and a pack of juice boxes are perfect.
Running the stand: Sell the snacks during the two break times at 10:50 AM and 11:50 AM.
Just a heads-up: The snack stand is only for Level 3 and up. Kids in Levels 1 and 2 bring their own snacks from home for their break time.
We also need two parents to keep an eye on the gym and make sure everyone is playing safely. The schedule covers two 10-minute breaks at 10:50 and 11:50, plus the younger kids’ break from 11:10 to 11:30. Just a heads-up: if we don’t get volunteers for a particular week, we will have to keep the gym closed.
If you’re volunteering in the gym, here are the main rules to enforce:
No older kids on the wooden play equipment (it can’t support their weight).
Keep shoes out of the doorway and pushed to the side so nobody trips.
Leave all cushions on the equipment (both play and gymnastics gear).
