Volunteer Needs....
“Tidying Up” Spring Cleaning Support
Need: 2-4 adults
Friday, April 19th 9:00-11:00 am
JSA supports a large number of students each year with winter coats, hats, gloves and boots. We also assist learners who may find themselves in need of a clean pair of pants or shirts during the day. JSA thanks the families who donate items that their child may have outgrown for these needs. Our storage space is limited however and as we move into Spring, that space is in need of a clean out and re-organization. Is making a space tidy something that brings you joy? If so, it would bring us joy to have the volunteer assistance! Please contact Ms. Conyers, aconyers@cr.k12.ia.us or 319-558-2174 to join her for a morning of organization fun!
Reading Buddies:
Volunteers will be reading with students either in a small group or with individual students, depending on the Teachers needs. Your commitment would be 1 hour (or more if you want) a week thru May. Feel free to pass this opportunity on to grandparents, church groups, retirement groups, or anyone who may be interested in volunteering. Please contact Leah Ferring for the available schedule at LFerring@cr.k12.ia.us
