1. Host a Fall Experience!
Looking for volunteers to host experiences for sign up at the Jaguar Jog in September. Experiences are a huge part of our fundraisers and you must be present at the event to sign up! We are specifically looking for volunteers to host a coed, physical activity as well as something creative and/or art focused. These are just suggestions and we welcome any new ideas! Hosts donate the entire experience (often with co-hosts), plan the experience, send out evites, communicate with the attendees regarding reminders, cancellations or re-scheduling for their event. If you have any questions or are interested in helping out, please contact Carla Giannelli carla3374@sbcglobal.net or Michelle Rafacz mdemumbrum@yahoo.com.

5. After School Spanish
After school Spanish is back! We partner with The Language Labs to bring you a weekly 50 minute class of fun Spanish instruction. Learning a second language has been shown to be good for the brain. Studies have found higher math scores, higher verbal scores, higher social studies scores, and higher test scores for children who study another language.
Classes are held every Thursday from 3-3:50 at Whittier for a 20 week session. Cost is $280. Currently the class is open to Grades 1-6 only.
Registration begins THIS FRIDAY September 1st, class begins October 5th. Space is limited! Click HERE to register, choose “Spanish” and then scroll down to the drop down menu and select Whittier’s class for online registration. Instructions on registering by mail are also provided.
There is one opening available for a parent volunteer to attend each class, and will receive half tuition for their child for their service. If interested in being the volunteer or for any questions email Rachel Carrero @ rachel.carrero@gmail.com
