Volunteers Needed - Room Parents, Art Appreciation and More!

Did you miss the PTO Volunteer table at Open House last week? It's not too late to get involved and volunteer. Click here to complete a quick survey about where'd you'd be interested in volunteering.

Classroom Parents: Sign up to help other parents in the class plan holiday parties, teacher gifts, class t-shirts and more. The more parents that volunteer in each class means less work for all!

Classroom Art Appreciation: Sign up to lead or help facilitate an art project in your child's classroom. Usually done once a trimester with a date arranged with the class teacher.

Special Events, Fundraising, Green Team and Programming all need volunteers as well. If you have questions, please contact Jacinda Bauman.

Mann Book Fair

Mark your calendar: the Mann Book Fair is happening the week of October 21st- October 25th.

Junior Achievement

This will be our third year participating in Junior Achievement’s JA in a Day, a unique educational enhancement program. Former Mann Parent, Charlisa Pugh works for Junior Achievement of Chicago and is partnering with our school to introduce financial literacy to our students starting in Kindergarten.

This year’s event will take place at the school on Friday, October 25th 8-11 a.m.

We are looking for parent volunteers who are interested in serving in their child’s classroom. The lessons are laid out in an easy to follow format and the kits include fun, engaging activities for the students to participate while they learn. Additionally, the curriculum aligns with the State of Illinois and Common Core standards, so many of the skills are an enhancement to what the students have or will be learning in class. Please find out more about Junior Achievement.

Charlisa Pugh our JA liaison is taking volunteers on a first come first serve basis so if the date and time commitment works for you, please email her at cpugh@jachicago.org or call 708-456-1400 ext. 255 ASAP so she can slide you into the slot for your child’s class. There will be a brief training closer to the day of the event.
