    Description

    The greatest feeling in the world is helping at the elementary school where your efforts propel students into success! The largest need is for help with the Baggie Books program on Mondays and Fridays and also with Skillbuilders. Read on to learn more!

    Baggie Books Program

    Volunteers assist students weekly with checking in and out books from our Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade take home classroom libraries.

      • Volunteers come once a week on the same day. You can choose which day you sign up for.
      • It starts at 9:15. At the beginning of the year volunteers are done by approximately 10:15.
      • Interested but not sure if it's for you? Come and try it for a day.
      • Interested but don't want to commit to every week. We need subs as well which would give you more flexibility.
      • You can email me at debbie.blatz@ahschools.us if interested.
