ART DISPLAYS: Occasionally we may be asked by the art teachers to help hang students’ artwork on the hallway walls to display.
- Time commitment: varies (maybe 1-2 hours; very flexible!)
BOOK FAIR: Assist in the student purchase of Scholastic books. There are usually three shifts. This is a two- to three-day event which occurs once a year.
- Time commitment: approximately 2 hours per shift
CONFERENCE NIGHTS: This is one way you can volunteer in the evening at BJH. On conference night we set up tables at both entrances and have volunteers greeting and handing out fliers. This is a great way to meet other BJH parents! Conferences occur three times a year.
- Time commitment: 2 ½ hours per shift.
CONFERENCE POTLUCKS: The first conference night of each session we like to have a potluck dinner for the staff. With school getting out at 2:40 and conferences starting at 3:20 -- and running late into the evening -- our staff does not get much time to have dinner. So, our fantastic BJH parents have, in the past, generously contributed towards a dinner for the staff with food or monetary donations. We would love to be able to continue this tradition at BJH.
- Time commitment: none (unless you help with serving & clean-up)
CRAFT DEMONSTRATIONS: The FACS (Family And Consumer Sciences) teachers would appreciate volunteers who could come in and demonstrate to the classes various craft skills. Examples may be knitting, quilting, or other heritage crafts.
- Time commitment: once each trimester
DANCES: Even though your students might say that they don’t want their mom or dad at a school dance, please reconsider. Your task at the dance can take you away from the dance floor and put you more “behind the scenes.” You might be taking tickets, working coat check or concessions, or patrolling bathrooms and halls.
FUNDRAISERS: For our annual magazine drive, help check orders as they are received and distribute orders after they come in. Occasionally departments do independent fundraisers as well, and need similar assistance.
- Time commitment: 2-3 hours per shift
HONOR ROLL LISTS: At-home project assembling the honor roll lists on signs that are displayed in the school.
- Time commitment: twice a year, approx. 1-2 hours each time
LUNCHROOM SELLING: We take the opportunity of being able to contact all our students during the lunch hour so that they may purchase certain items available to them. This includes purchases like yearbooks, carnations, and dance tickets. This task is always done during the lunch hour, MT/ThF 11:10-12:40; W 11:25-12:50.
- Time commitment: 2 hours per shift
MEDIA CENTER : Assist the media department with a variety of tasks including shelving books. We work around your availability. This can be a weekly commitment, or once or twice a month.
- Time commitment: approx. 1-2 hours per shift (very flexible!)
PICTURE DAY: Assist students on picture day, making sure the students are in the appropriate line and have their money. This always occurs in September, usually the third week of school.
· Time commitment: approx. 2 ½ hours per shift
RIF (READING IS FUNDAMENTAL): Assist students selecting their free book once each trimester.
· Time commitment: three times a year, approx. 2 hours each shift
TESTING ESCORTS: Be available to escort testing students through the halls to/from classroom and restroom. State testing rules require that students are escorted one at a time to be sure there is no communication between students during testing. (This is a great time to get caught up on your reading, crossword puzzle, knitting, etc.!)
· Time commitment: in the spring, approx. 3 hours each shift
