SEEKING VOLUNTEERS WHO LOVE KIDS!

admin — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 15:29:31 +0000

Moving Mountains is looking for a volunteer for the “Open Gym” at Creekside Elementary School. The volunteer would act, as a greeter/safety reminder at the door and to help our coordinator to oversee the “open gym”. We would need a couple volunteers to start immediately until the end of this year’s program in June.

WHO: VOLUNTEERS
WHAT: GREETER/SAFETY REMINDER
WHEN: EVERY MONDAY FROM 3-5 UNTIL THE END OF JUNE
WHERE: CREEKSIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

As a door greeter your job will be to:

-greet all families who attend
-ask everyone to sign in
-remind them to make a donation; now increased to $5.00 per family per visit
-let them know that their children MUST be wearing indoor shoes with sticky soles
-they need to be in CLOSE proximity to their children at all times,
-all cars need to stay on the left side of the gym.
-You will politely ask them to review the information posted on the easel, and to have fun with their children.

*If there is any time in between arrivals and departures, please circulate and chat with parents if it does not distract from the supervision of their children*

When families are leaving you should ask:
-how the gym time went,
-whether they had any questions or concerns,
-if they have any suggestions for how to improve the program or safety.

Below are the following dates that we need a volunteer to act as door greeter from
