Super Sitters Registration Open for 5th Graders
Who: Horace Mann 5th Grade Students
When: Friday, March 11, 9 am - 2 pm
Where: Art & Science Room
Fee: $43 per student (Registration Deadline: March 6)
The Super Sitters program is designed to train young people in basic babysitting and home alone skills. Students completing this course will be better prepared to provide a safer and more positive infant/child care experience. Taught by a hospital-qualified instructor (Cindy Tucker), this class includes parent expectations, basic first aid, home and fire safety, Heimlich maneuver, telephone tips, toys and activities and infant care. Participants receive a Babysitting 101 handbook and certification card upon completion of the class.
Be a parent volunteer for the class and your child will have a FREE tuition! We only need one parent volunteer. There is no experience necessary, you will just be taking attendance, and helping the teacher as needed. As a parent volunteer you will also need to be a current PTSA member (you can join on the PTSA website at any time) and a current approved volunteer with the LWSD (applications are available on the LWSD website). The volunteer doesn't need to be the parent, but can also be an adult relative, neighbor, or friend, as long as they are a PTSA member and an approved district volunteer.
