Volunteer

If you are interesting in helping in our classroom, please let me know. Below are descriptions of the types of volunteers we will be looking for throughout the year, hopefully you can find something that interests you! I appreciate any time and energy you can donate to enhance student learning. I have also included information about the PTA if you are interested in school-wide involvement.
Volunteering in Worthington
Worthington City School District requires that all volunteers have background checks prior to working with students. New volunteers: you can do this online from the district website by following this link: Volunteer Background Check
Mystery Reader
I would love to have family members come in each Friday this school year and be a mystery reader. You choose an age-appropriate book (maybe a favorite from home!) and come read for 15-20 minutes to the class. It is a short amount of time, but the kids love it! More information to sign up will be coming soon!
Class Parties
Classroom parties and celebrations happen throughout the year. I will update information as each event arises. You will be able to volunteer to provide supplies through Sign Up Genius.
Field Trips
We take a field trip to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in May. To come on this field trip, you will need to have a complete background check done through the district office to get a volunteer badge. Information about that can be found here.
Worthington Park PTA
We have a fantastic PTA at Worthington Park! If you would like any information on this organization, click HERE! You can find information about the officers, how to sign up, and a calendar of events. The PTA is always putting on great events for our students, we are grateful for everything they do.
You can also follow them on social media:
