Symmes Stars Help
SYMMES STARS VOLUNTEERS!!
The Symmes Stars program is underway, and we are having fun getting to know the wonderful students at Symmes Elementary School! This is a fabulous opportunity to volunteer and help our children share information about themselves with the rest of the Symmes community. The volunteers interview each student, and their certificate is placed on the Symmes Stars bulletin board for the week. The students get a prize, and a special note is sent home to their family informing them that their child is a Symmes Star. Parents are encouraged to share lunch time with their child during the week as well. The students are excited when it is their turn to be a Symmes Star and look forward to their week!
We meet most Mondays during the school year. We start around 9:05 am and finish by 9:45 am - it’s only a 30-40 minute commitment per week.
Please, consider sharing your time to get to know some of our amazing children! You may view the signup sheet (Google doc link below) and add your name to the schedule. Then, email Tulika Prasad at tulika.prasad@gmail.com to let us know so that we can remind you of the date.

Symmes annual fall clothing drive time!
Please donate your gently used FALL and WINTER clothing. All sizes- infant through adult would be greatly appreciated. Winter coats and shoes would be wonderful too! There is a collection bin placed in the school lobby labeled “clothing drive”, please feel free to place your clothing donations in the tote. Should you want to donate but may not have the time to drop off to the school, feel free to contact me and I can pick up your donations.
The clothes and shoes donations are used to help our school community. Nothing is more special than helping families in need.
We will be collecting clothes from Monday, October 9th through Friday, October 27th. Should you be interested in helping to sort and bag clothes, contact LaToya Goshen at goshenfamily3@yahoo.com.
