VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
If able, we need volunteers to help with magazine sales and concessions. More information is below. If you are able to help with either of these, or have any questions, contact Jackie Mason, volunteer coordinator, at jmason@cr.k12.ia.us; 319-213-7612.
Magazine Sales. This is McKinley's largest fundraiser. All monies go directly to McKinley and are used to support student activities such as field trips. We need a chair (could be a couple or three people) and volunteers to help count money. (Sept 26 and Oct 3).
Concessions. All monies go directly to the activities fund. In the past some of the money has helped purchase TV monitors for announcements. We need a chairperson, volunteers to help pop popcorn, and volunteers to help supervise students working the concessions booth at sporting events. Booth is positioned so you can watch the game if your student is participating.
**ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST HAVE A YELLOW VOLUNTEER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT CARD ON FILE WITH THE CEDAR RAPIDS COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT**
