We have two great events planned for October, but we need the help of parents and family members to make them successful!
Curriculum Night, October 9th
Have questions about what your students are learning? Curious to find out how their homework connects to their classroom work? On October 9th, the teachers and staff at Ventura Park are inviting parents to come in and learn more about the curriculum their children are using in their classrooms. There will be two information sessions so if you have two children at different grade levels, you'll be able to hear from both teachers. We'd really like as many parents to come as possible, and we understand that child care on a weeknight can be tricky. So, while parents are in the classrooms, it would be great for the kids to have indoor gym time or craft time in the cafeteria.
So, what do we need? We need parents who are able to come in and play gym games or make crafts, color, or paint with our students. We can work in shifts so you can still get down to the classroom and hear from the teachers. This should be a pretty easy volunteer opportunity. It's mostly just playing with kids. Bonus? The gym night should help tire out our kids so they sleep well.
If you're interested in volunteering for Curriculum Night, please email us at [email protected], or you can leave your name, number, and email in the office and they will get a message to us!
Trunk-or-Treat, October 31st
Do you love Fall and Halloween? This is the volunteer opportunity for you! Trunk-or-Treat is a new event we're planning this year and we need family support to make it happen! Trunk-or-Treat provides a safe, easy way for your children to participate in trick-or-treating. Parents and family members pull their cars into the school parking lot, decorate them, and then the children go from car to car to trick or treat. If your family isn't in to trick-or-treating but still want to enjoy some fun, fall activities, we are also planning to have a few carnival games like pumpkin bowling and pumpkin ring toss. Parents could choose to make this their only trick-or-treating event, or you could kick off or end your night with us.
Ways you can help?
*Volunteer to bring your car and decorate it! You can Google "Trunk or Treat" for ideas and be as creative as you want. We only ask that your decorations aren't very scary as we want this event to be fun for all ages, including little ones. Please let us know by October 10th if you'd like to bring your car in.
*Can't bring your vehicle down, but still want to help? You can come help by setting up the carnival games and helping to run them. The games will be free, so no need to worry about tickets. This will just involve helping the kids understand how the game works, keeping them going, and handing out prizes.
*If you want to help support the event in other ways, we would love donations of candy or other trick-or-treat items that we could also use as game prizes. If you want to donate pumpkins or decorations for the carnival games or any other items you think would be helpful, that would be great as well. Also, we'd love to offer a prize for the "best decorated vehicle." If you know of a business that would be willing to donate, let us know!
