BE AN ALMOND NEW FAMILY AMBASSADOR
Joining Almond with children who are older than kindergarten can be intimidating, especially coming from another part of the US or another country, and we would like to help make it less so. Our community is becoming more and more diverse, in large part because so many people are moving here from the other parts of the globe, but that makes understanding and integration even more challenging. As part of my PTA New Families role, I am hoping to recruit some families who are willing to be resources for families who are new to Almond this coming fall, with children in grades 1 to 6. We will provide the new folks with a "frequently asked questions" guide, and I will offer to answer questions along with the amazing Almond office team, but it would be great to match them up with a family they can email or call with extra questions, ideally in their native language and/or with children in the same sort of grades. If you are willing to be an Almond New Family Ambassador, please email me on zsofip@hotmail.com. Please include your name, the grades of your children in 2017-18, and -- if applicable -- which other language(s) you speak/where you are originally from. Thanks in advance! Zsofia Puszta-McIntyre
PTA HOT LUNCH
Dear Hot Lunch Recipient Parents,
Your PTA is in need of two parents to volunteer to help coordinate hot lunch for the 2017-2018 school year. The positions and descriptions are as follows:
In addition we need parents to volunteer to serve hot lunch.
Hot lunch at Almond School is run by the PTA and is an elective program that is dependent on parent volunteers. It is a program that will be discontinued if we do not have enough volunteer support. During the last year we have negotiated 2 staff from Pasta Market to help which has cut our volunteer needs in half but we still need to fill these positions or we are in danger of losing the program.
Thank you for considering,
Rachel Harnish
PTA Executive Vice President
