If your child has Guncheon, Wilson, Thorson, Doll, Hoffmann, or Rowe as a teacher, and you have an hour or two each month to spare, please consider volunteering to help with the Strandwood FAME program!
The Fine Arts Mini Experience is a PTA sponsored program that introduces every student at Strandwood to a different composer and artist once a month for six months. Interactive lessons use simple props, sets, and costumes. This is one of the most beloved and popular programs Strandwood offers. Let's keep the arts alive!
Our docents are parent volunteers. Teams of two parents teach short art and music lessons to each class in the music room. No prior experience necessary! Docents are given lesson plans and materials the first Tuesday of the month and then give short lessons (10 - 15 minutes per parent) on one of the remaining three Tuesdays of the month.
We still currently have classes that need parent volunteers!! All lesson plans are written out for you and you have flexibility to use, edit, or adapt as you wish! Docents learn about art and music as much as the kids and it is rewarding for everyone involved.
