Studio Volunteer Opportunities
Hello Studio Families,
*Currently, we are not allowing family members into our building*
Hope this letter finds you doing well. First, we would like to take the time out to say that we value your role in our school community and the roles of families are important to us. We would like to welcome you to come in to volunteer during studio. There are a variety of ways you can volunteer.
Some ideas are:
- Offer to read a story to your child’s pod. The children love to have new readers visit!
- Volunteer in the pod. There are a variety of experiences planned each day (cooking, art, music, etc.). The children in the pod will enjoy having another person come in to play and explore with. This also lets you see first-hand what your child does each day.
We all live very busy lives and we value your time. If you are unable to come in during studio, we understand. Here are some other ways you can be involved.
- Donate recyclables on an as needed basis to the pod (paper, tissue boxes, old cardboard, newspapers, etc.) . These materials can be used in a variety of interest areas like art and sensory. Please look out for sign up sheets; they will be located on the sign out sheet.
- Share family traditions with your child’s pod. A few ideas for you to share are; cooking recipes, pictures, books, etc.
If you have any additional ideas please share them with us. We would love to hear them!
Thank you,
Casey Guiheen, Studio and Community Coordinator
