Summer Vacation Gardening Committee |
| A special thanks to our summer-time gardening committee!!
Each volunteer took a week out of their summer to come to school to water and weed Strandwood's garden areas. Thanks so much, Mike Howard, Cynthia Cartagena, Ellen Dutton, Camilla Podowski, Susan Dailey, Jackie Stuart, Orlando Guzman, Rosie Misenhimer and Annie Reed.
Thanks also to Azalee Flores and Vangie Jordon for coming out over the summer to weed and water garden areas. Everyone's hard work made a huge difference! Interested in joining the gardening committee this year?
Please stop by the PTA VP-Programs table at Jump Start Day. There will be a sign-up sheet for both the gardening committee and Make a Difference Day. Question? Please email Noga at nogakessler@yahoo.com
Hope to see you there. |
Fingerprinting and TB Tests
|
Starting in 2009 all volunteers working with students have been required to be fingerprinted and provide a negative TB test. Every year, as school starts, parents flood the district with fingerprinting appointment requests. Early in the school year that appointment might be 3 to 6 weeks away. If you have not completed your fingerprinting you will not be allowed to work with the students. This requirement also applies to field trip drivers.
If you are going to volunteer this year please beat the rush and get your fingerprinting appointment right now. Get the instructions and form by clicking below.
