What does our committee do?
Work with Barb in the office to collect contact info. of all new families to OK (except Kinders, unless a kinder is with other new kids in their family who are 1st-5th). Send out a packet of info at the beginning of August and then organize a potluck dinner top be held a few days before school starts. I have a packet that I have used the last few years and just needs a little updating each year.
What types of responsibilities do our volunteers help with?
* Collecting contact info. from Barb before school ends in June up until the potluck dinner in August
* Copy/collate packets for August mailer
* Include in mailer the flyer for the potluck dinner with dish assignments
* Coordinate with David Ackerman and PTO President to speak at potluck
* Coordinate with Maria Clemo for tours of the school during the potluck
* Tours given by 4th or 5th graders. You will need to find these kids to help out (about 5 or 6 kids to give tours
* Invite all PTO board members to potluck and rally a few friends to help you host and talk to the new families about OK
When do we need you?
Mainly for just the evening of the potluck, which occurs a few days before school starts. Having them come an hour early to help set-up and bring a dish to share and be social with the new families
How much time commitment is involved?
2-3 hours the night of the potluck. 3 hours over the summer collecting names
from Barb, copy/collating mailer and reminder phone calls the day before the potluck
Any special skills required?
Someone who is organized and likes to meet new people and making them feel welcome.
