We are looking for volunteers to share their hobbies, special interests and talents with students and have some fun!
Who:
Parents, grandparents, neighbors & teachers who would be willing to teach OR assist a class.
You are welcome to co-teach with a friend or spouse! Middle and high school students are also welcome to co-teach with you.
All volunteers need to have a background check (the yellow card, good for the school year).
What:
We need 10 classes to accommodate around 140 students, (12-17 volunteers)
Classes do not have to be elaborate, keep it fun and simple and share what you love!
There is a small budget to buy supplies or we can help you round up supplies
You decided # of students, ages and activities you want in the class.
Here are some examples of enrichment classes that have been offered in the past:
Foreign Language, Cooking/Baking, Knitting, Science, STEM, Art, Puppets & Plays, Board Games, Sewing, LEGO League, Running Club, Zumba, Crafts, Outdoor Adventure, Sports, Gardening, Cheer, Book Club, Jewelry Making, Earth Day/Going Green, Healthy Eating, Engineering competition, Clay.

Register for PTA, Volunteer Opportunities and Student interests
1. Register for PTA
- Dues can be paid to Jackson Office or at the PTA meeting in October
- Dues are $8/ Individual or $15/Couple
- PTA meetings are the 1st of every month at 6-7pm, in the cafe. Free childcare provided.
2. Volunteer Interests
Please know that signing up for an event DOES NOT fully commit you to it. We are just generating an interest list and as these events draw closer we will send out an email to those who show interest through this survey to see who is available and in what capacities. Volunteers are what makes Jackson such a great community and there are opportunities for both working parents, stay at home parents and both with a boatload of little tagalongs or big middle and high school helpers.
3. Student Groups Interest
The survey also lists extra circular activities at Jackson. Again this does not sign up students, but we will pass along the contact information so the group leader can reach out to those who are interested.
