Cafeteria Volunteers

CAFETERIA MONITOR VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION!
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 2013
8-8:20am
CARAWAY CAFETERIA ANNEX

Help is needed in the cafeteria at lunchtime! This is an excellent opportunity for parents who do not want a long-term volunteer commitment. At Kathy Caraway, we have a unique program that gives the children two recess periods. During lunchtime, one parent volunteer assists the children in the cafeteria and one helps out on the playground. Without parent volunteers, the children will not get a second, lunchtime recess!  When children have more breaks, they come back to class more able to focus on their schoolwork.
Please join us for this brief orientation detailing how you can participate as a cafeteria monitor volunteer!
Can’t make it but still want to volunteer?  Please email Nicole Dockrey atnicole.dockrey@gmail.com for more information.

Education Go Get It Week!

During the week of September 23-27, we will be promoting education by celebrating and learning during "Education Go Get It Week".  Please partner with us by encouraging your children to dress in the following ways:

Monday, Sept. 23:  "Give a Hoot/ College Bound":  Students and teachers wear Kathy Caraway school t-shirts.

Tuesday, Sept. 24:  "Dress for Success":  Students dress up in career outfits or as if they are going for an interview.

Wednesday, Sept. 25:  "Step up for Education":  Students and teachers wear sneakers or tennis shoes.

Thursday, Sept. 26:  "Hats off to College":  Students and teachers wear their favorite collegiate hat.

Friday, Sept. 27:  "Show Your College Spirit":  Students and teachers wear their favorite collegiate t-shirt.

You can also help us by having discussions with your children about where you went to school and what it took for you to get there.  They're never too young to start talking about what they want to do in the future and what type of education it takes to perform this job.  Although their possible career interests will probably change many times throughout their childhood, it's a great discussion to continue!
