The school community is looking for volunteers in the following roles:
Salad Bar Volunteers (need 10)
Weekdays, approximately 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Children have a special chance to eat healthy foods at Peralta. Thanks to the pioneering efforts of parents in past years, we now have a salad bar to supplement the (processed food) lunches provided. A minimal level of ongoing supervision during lunch periods is required to sustain the program. Teaching kids to eat healthy young prevents obesity, and all kinds of bad habits.
This is a great volunteering opportunity if you have free time during school hours, volunteer in K classrooms, and care about food and nutrition. Note: This occurs during school hours. Contact Darryl Cobb, beckercobb AT comcast DOT net.
Peralta Times Staffer (need 2)
Unstructured hours
The Peralta Times is a paper-based publication with news and feature articles on the people and programs that make the Peralta Community so special. The newsletter is a longstanding fixture at Peralta, and a great way to build our community. If you want to write an article, report on a program, share your child’s artwork or poetry, or conduct an interview for the rest of us to read, this is where it will go.
This is a great opportunity for verbal-creative types who aren’t able to volunteer on the campus itself. This newsletter has the effect of tying all the grades together and making us share a common view of the school and its values. Contact Jenny Summers, jenny AT queenofthejungle DOT com.
