Chets Creek Volunteers

Gathering ample volunteers for all the requests at our sprawling elementary school is never an easy task, but one that Deb, Lourdes, and Kathy embrace with a smile.

Volunteer Interest forms went home with each student during Orientation asking stakeholders for contact information, how they would like to volunteer, when they are available, and specifically which volunteer opportunities they would like to embrace. However, the school's requests for volunteers began before the forms could be collected and organized. "No problem," said this steadfast group of volunteer supporters. They gathered volunteers to help on the first day of school, both in the bus and car loop, and for dismissal. And, they gathered volunteers to help resource teachers with all their kindergarten classes. They gathered volunteers to cover the front desk. All this while in the middle of the membership drive and now the Corporate Contributions Contest which also needed volunteers.

They are now booking volunteers for Volunteer Orienation pictures and badges, and for administering vision and hearing tests. Really, there isn't a time when I look around the front lobby when I can't spot hot pink PTA shirt wearing volunteers hard at work. I am always amazed at the truly generous and priceless gifts they give each day, both their time and talents.

  1. We are in such capable hands with these three rounding up volunteers to run all of our events! Sometimes all it takes it asking or inviting another parent to get involved - and then they become a huge help! Thank you Lourdes, Deb,Kathy and Maria for making a huge difference!
