Cone Set Up Needed at Elementary Campus
We are looking for an individual or a few to help with setting up cones in the morning before 8:30 am. This typically takes 15 minutes and would be ideal for those parents who need volunteer hours and need to drop off at before school care. With 164 days remaining this would equal 41 hours – so with two people/families sharing, this could equal your total volunteer hours for the school year!! Any parent(s) are welcome to help with this task and it would be greatly appreciated. There will be a training set up to know where to place cones and signs. Please contact Jennifer Watson if you are interested.
KM Club
The KM Club needs your help! We have the following volunteer opportunities coming up:
- We have three volunteer opportunities on Tuesday, September 9th at 8:45 am. We will meet right after drop-off at the elementary in the Connection Rm (check in with the school office), assemble the wristbands, and prepare all necessary materials for the upcoming fall KM Club. This will take approximately 2h, and your help will be invaluable in enabling this popular program. Interested volunteers, please contact Maik Hassel at 604.315.8446 or
KM Club needs volunteers! The success of this popular event depends on the help of our parents, and it is a great opportunity to collect volunteer hours for the year while supervising your children during the run. Volunteer descriptions and registration can be found in THIS LINK.
