SYMMES VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED


SYMMES VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR 2016-2017!

Our great school has an amazing culture of volunteers to support our programs and services. Would you consider taking a moment to visit our sign-up genius page to be notified of service opportunities this year?  The link is found at: http://tinyurl.com/hqoeyl4  

OR if you are a hard copy sort of person, look for a PTO sign-up sheet in back pack mail next week!

Here are 5 Reasons to Volunteer:
1) It takes a village: no one can do it on their own!

2) A little of your time goes a long way...many hands make light work.

3) Everyone has something to offer, even if it is just an hour or two. You don't have to be Martha Stewart. Many jobs can also be done at home!

4) Your child will benefit. "When parents are involved in their children's education at home, they do better in school. When parents are involved at school, children go father in school and the schools they go to are better." (Henderson & Berla "A New Generation of Evidence: Family is Critical to Student Achievement") 
5) You'll feel good and might even make friends!
