SLIDELL FOOD & FUN FEST 10/18-10/20
SPECIAL FAIR EDITION - OCTOBER 3, 2019
FOOD...FUN...FRIENDS...FAMILY
OUR BELOVED SMM FAIR IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. IT'S NEXT MONTH!
IT IS ALWAYS A NICE WAY TO ENJOY TIME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I ALWAYS RUN INTO SOMEONE I HAVEN'T SEEN IN A WHILE AND IT BRINGS BACK SUCH FOND MEMORIES.
I HAVE THE AWESOME JOB OF FAIR STAFFING COORDINATOR WHICH MEANS I GET TO CHAT WITH EACH OF YOU FOR AT LEAST A FEW MINUTES DURING THE FAIR. BUT MY JOB ALSO REQUIRES ME TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP.
SO I AM ASKING THAT YOU TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THE PARAGRAPHS BELOW AND SIGN UP FOR YOUR DESIRED SLOTS. I PROMISE YOU, NONE OF THE WORK IS DIFFICULT. IN FACT, IT IS QUITE ENJOYABLE.
WE ARE ASKING OUR SMM PARENTS TO WORK THREE HOUR SHIFTS - ONE SHIFT PER CHILD FOR A MAXIMUM OF SIX HOURS. THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS NEEDED HAS INCREASED AND WE HAVE ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF PARENTS AS LAST YEAR TO FILL THE SPOTS. WE WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE SIGN-UP ONLINE.
WE REALLY NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK. THE VOLUNTEER WORK THAT YOU PUT IN HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION. OUR SCHOOL BENEFITS TREMENDOUSLY
FROM THE FAIR. AND IT IS SUCH A FUN WAY TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN AND FRIENDS. AND THE ENTERTAINMENT IS PHENOMENAL.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS MAY VOLUNTEER TO EARN SERVICE HOURS, BUT THEY MAY NOT TAKE THEIR PARENTS' SHIFTS BECAUSE WE NEED ADULTS AT ALL LOCATIONS AT ALL TIMES. ALSO THEY MAY NOT NOT WORK THE RAFFLE TICKET BOOTH NOR IN GATE/SECURITY. STUDENTS MUST SIGN-UP ONLINE AS WELL - THEY CANNOT JUST SHOW UP. STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING WHATEVER DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY NEED TO VERIFY THEIR SERVICE HOURS WITH THEM.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR STUDENTS AND SCHOOL!
GOD BLESS,
COACH GAY
WHERE DO I WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
The big question for many of you is "what do I do at the Gate/Security area?" The Gate/Security area will have a police officer stationed with our volunteers. Our volunteers will simply check to see if those persons entering the fair grounds have the required arm bands, tickets, T-shirts, etc before allowing them entry. This is an extra layer of security to assure that loiterers and people who are not here to enjoy the fair rides are turned away.
Volunteers at the gate will receive instructions in volunteer room 3 prior to heading to their stations.
Thank you and, again, I am ready and able to help you with your questions.
- Coach Gay
