Starting next Friday I will be volunteering at my dd's junior high with 2 other mothers. We "walk about" the campus during the three lunch periods. I'm sure I'll hear and see all kinds of things I don't wanta know about.

Olivia you know what the problem is? The problem is out of all the members of the pta only 10% are "really" involved. People work, have younger children, etc. It's hard to be at the school 24/7 - Of course I know many pta members that do a heck of a lot and have a full time job and 2 or 3 kids.

I volunteer at Ds-9's school. I go in every Tuesday morning. Normally I have copies to make for his teacher (handouts, tests, etc). Then I assist with Social studies, and then we go to library and I help with checkout. He is in 4th grade so I probably will only do this type of volunteer work through 5th grade.

I do not volunteer at the Middle school since they rotate classes. I could help in the library or something but I vol. with this Ds from K-5th grade.

I always vol. to help in the classroom if that particular teacher uses volunteers-the vast majority of them do. I love getting a connection with the teacher, staff, and school plus meeting my kids classmates.

I make sure I volunteer at each school during the year. I have worked in the classroom, lunch room, booksales, and ice cream socials. I have also painted walls, ceilings, and planted flowers.
