Volunteers
Volunteering is a great way to become
familiar
with the school, meet other parents, and show your child you care about
his or her education. If you would like to become involved in the
Grimsley community, all you need to do is call our Volunteer
Coordinator, Valerie Stern, sstern@triad.rr.com, or contact one of
the Committee Chairs
noted
below. No matter what your skills or schedule, we can find
a place for you.
Some of the many volunteer
opportunities include
the following:
Beautification
Committee
If you see something blooming at
Grimsley, chances
are that the Beautification committee is responsible. If you
would
be willing to help this committee, please call Niki Bloomquist at
288-8660. Boy Scouts take
note: improving
the Grimsley grounds makes for a great Eagle project.
Counseling
Center
Counseling Center is in serious
need
of volunteers.
Our Counseling Center cannot function
without some
dedicated volunteers. Ideally Counseling needs help every day,
all
day but the critical times are from 10 to 12 and 12 to 2 on a daily
basis.
We would like to set up a monthly volunteer schedule (similar to the
Main
Office) ASAP. Please contact me if you can commit to a certain
day
of the week/ month and a certain time slot. Also, please pass
this
information on to other Grimsley parents. This is an urgent and
important
request so your consideration in this manner is greatly appreciated.
Project
Graduation
Are you more of a one project kind of
volunteer?
Put your name down for Project Graduation or one of our other special
projects.
These events require a massive amount of manpower but the commitment is
succinct, that is to say, you are finished and ready to go home after a
few hours. Right now we are looking for our Project Graduation
volunteers.
Project Graduation is an all night, alcohol- and drug-free celebration
we organize for the night of graduation in order to help our seniors
celebrate
their success in a safe, but fun-filled environment. Since many
seniors'
parents have out-of-town guests, and many seniors would prefer to
celebrate
without their parents being present, we rely heavily on the
participation
of parents of underclassmen. Please help us keep this
tradition
alive by volunteering for one of the many jobs during the night.
(Typically the parent volunteers have as much fun as the kids and keep
coming back year after year.) Contact Susan Gentry jfgentry@bellsouth.net if
you
would be willing to help.
Hospitality Committee
For those who love entertaining or, more
importantly,
want to be well thought of by the teachers and staff, put your name in
to help with Hospitality. This group organizes and provides
refreshments
for deserving faculty and staff each month. The hospitality
chairperson
also recruits parents to chaperone dances on and off campus. Your
student will love that! Nancy Winborn at nwinborn@triad.rr.com
and Gay Brogden danagay@triad.rr.com
will be heading
the charge.
Proctoring
Need some quiet and a little time to
think?
Volunteers are needed several times during the year to proctor
competency
exams and state tests.
Volunteer opportunities arise regularly
at
Grimsley. The PTSA will try to keep parents informed of volunteer
needs. By volunteering you become a part of your student's high
school
experience. The rewards are great. Let us know you are
willing.
