Volunteer Opportunities
Current Volunteer Ops at M-A!
In other words, there's something for everyone no matter how much time you can commit! To learn more about how you can help, contact the following PTA representatives or see the current volunteer ops below:
Current Volunteer Ops at M-A: Writing Workshop Mentors: Current Sophomore and Freshman A.S. English teacher Ms. Kristin Broussard is developing a writer's workshop that will start next fall. Students often fear taking the essay portion of the CAHSEE, which is required during their sophomore year. Support from strong workshop mentors should strengthen their writing skills and reduce "writer's nerves". Even though we are busy winding up our school year, planning for the fall of 2008 has begun! Before you leave for the summer, please check your schedule to see if you can help to register the 2,000 students enrolled at M-A. Not to worry, they don't all come at once! This is an easy way to get involved, peer into M-A student life and meet other parents. This event takes place on campus, and training is provided on-the-spot, so no experience is necessary. Arena Check-In volunteers shifts are:
Schedule Distribution
All volunteers will receive follow-up emails in August which will share details about where to park and where to report for each of these events. If you’re willing to help with any of the four shifts for Arena Check-In or with the Schedule Distribution on the first morning of classes, please send an email to Kristin Smith at adminsupport@mabearspta.org. Thank you for your consideration and support. Lisa Dettmer and Kristin Smith, ESL Tutoring: Volunteers work with students who have limited English language skills, some of whom are very new to the US. Knowledge of a second language is not necessary. The goal is to encourage conversation and help with reading, comprehension and vocabulary as supplied by the teacher. This is a very rewarding job and an opportunity to work directly with our students, build relationships and make a difference in their struggles to navigate high school in a foreign language. Please email Linda Fornaciari if you can help or want more information. 2008-2009 Board and Committee Members: The slate for the 2008-09 board and committee members was presented at the April 2nd PTA General Meeting. A few positions remain unfilled:
If you or someone you know is interested in a position, or you would like more information on how you can best help M-A, please contact the 2008-09 PTA Co-Presidents Denise Bullwinkel and Janet Perez. We hope to hear from you! Freshman Challenge Day Volunteer: Adult volunteers are crucial to the success of the 3-day Challenge Day program that is attended by the entire freshman class. 135 volunteers are needed - 45 on each day - with a time commitment on either Monday Nov.3rd, Tuesday Nov. 4th, or Friday Nov. 7th. Positions to be filled include:
As you are making your volunteer plans for the school year, please consider making a real difference in the lives of M-A teens in this awesome way! Click for additional information on Challenge Day.
