Hello Grattan Community!
Volunteer Leads are needed for the upcoming HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL and the FILM FEST!
Every year we always need leads for the Halloween Carnival, which is October 31st! This may be one of the most popular days of the school year for the kids, and boy do they LOVE this carnival. This event needs planning for a variety of activities and booths for the kids to explore while in costume, and there is always a need for help. Leads help with planning booths, schedules, etc.
The work is limited to what your schedule will allow, and you will most likely be teamed with others to share the time needed to plan and execute!
The Film Fest, which is November 16th needs just a few more people. Please let us know if you would like to be a part of a team of people who are working on this very popular Grattan event!
Film Fest is an evening weekend event that opens the school yard to Grattan families and students so they can watch a movie on a large screen, which is usually set up on the middle yard near the fencing. People usually bring blankets, seats, etc. because it's fun to blanket hop with friends and keep cozy if Karl the Fog makes an appearance! There are food and snacks for sale, too!
Usually there is a team of 4-5 adults who lead the Film Fest, and we are short 2-3. (The idea is more people will mean less work for everyone. )
If you ever wondered what being a Grattan school family feels like, being a Volunteer Lead is a great way to experience your school as a larger community. Families are always encouraged to volunteer for events because it gives you an opportunity to meet other families, see your kids play with other students you may have heard about but not met yet.
Having shared experiences like planning events builds community and helps connect us through collaboration on these fun events, and it offers opportunities to have get-to-know-you conversations and opportunities to socialize outside of the school environment. After all, you are likely going to be a part of Grattan School for 6+ years (Pre-K through 5th Grade!) so you might want to know who your community is!
Without volunteers, we can't hold the events, festivals and fairs for the students.
So please help if you can! Leads are so important to Grattan. We can not have the events without them and would have to cancel. If you are interested, please let us know via email and we will get you started!
Thank you so much, Grattan families! You are appreciated so very much.
