Parents We Need Volunteers
We need Volunteers to Teach Junior Achievement in 4th and 5th grade classes on December 11th, Wednesday.
Training (30 mins) will be provided along with the curriculum for the class.
Parents this is a great way to become involved in your child’s classroom for a day. I can have 2 volunteers per classroom if you’d like to have a buddy (another parent) co-teach with you.
Volunteers arrive at Truman Elementary School at 7:35 am and report to office to sign in. I will be there to meet with all the volunteers and welcome them. The teachers will send down students to pick you up and take you to your classroom.
The lessons are not difficult because it is mostly activities they learn from. We have told the students that Junior Achievement would be teaching them and they really look forward to a fun-filled day. At this moment we are short 6 volunteers to make this happen.
Please if you are available please contact Shelley Brown at: sbrown@jaok.org or 405-300-1027.
