A few weeks ago we told you about the various Executive Position that are voted on every year. But if an executive position is not for you, perhaps there are other volunteer roles that might be of interest!
For instance, there are several awesome parents who are “graduating” (well really their kids are) and others who are moving on to other roles, so several will be opening up.
Do you like greening? Alex Vilde, our long time and marvelous Outdoor Committee Chair, will sadly be leaving Allenby. Alex would be happy to tell you what that job entails if you are interested.
Our Kiss-N-Ride Coordinator, Siobhan Monahan, will also be leaving. This position involves developing and monitoring the weekly Kiss-N-Ride volunteer schedule.
Are you a full-time working parent at a desk? The Class Parent Coordinator position (Thank you, Andrea Seaton, for your three years!) is responsible for informing and distributing timely and important information to the individual class parents. It is primarily email based.
Hate messes? Well we need you to be our Lost and Found Coordinator. That mess near the pool area, that is the Allenby lost and found. Unfortunately this year we lost a few of these coordinators and what we have been left with is a gigantic pile. This role involves keeping the lost and found items sorted so they can be easily found and retrieved, and taking the unclaimed items to Good Will on the last Friday of the month.
Other ways to get involved next year? Class Parents, Big Night Out Committee (fall event), Attendance Verification, Allenby Literacy Program, Pizza Lunch. Think about it. The key to successful volunteering is to find something that interests you and fits with your personal time constraints. Nobody wants to feel more stretched than they already do. However, as we all know and benefit from, our parental commitment to enhancing the Allenby experience makes this a pretty special place.
