1. PTA Openings – We Need YOU!
Thank you to those that have filled the open positions. Opportunities still exist to serve in our PTA! Don’t be shy and apply!
The link below provides a summary of the different committees. In addition to needing several committee chairs, we need volunteers to help with different activites.
As a shadow you will work closely with Melissa Rausch in all aspects of the Variety Show production.
You will help set show and performance schedule, secure Whittier rehearsal rooms, distribute and collect act registrants, organize order of show, write script, supervise Friday rehearsals at Whittier, develop stage directions (light and sound cues), coordinate & supervise tech, dress and Tivoli rehearsals, call sound and light cues (using stage directions) during Tivoli performance.
There are many aspects of this job that Melissa does now that can be delegated to multiple volunteers (and there are many helpers!) This role works great for an individual OR a pair!
Questions? Contact Melissa meissarausch@sbcglobal.net

3. Spring Experience planning is underway! We welcome your input and ideas for new experiences for our Spring Fundraiser.
We are looking for volunteers to help co-host spring experiences. We are specifically looking for help with the following:
- Father/Son event (we have one host and looking for one or two more hosts to share expenses);
- Co-ed/family dodgeball tournament (need 3-4 hosts);
- Cinco de Mayo adults only party (we have 2 hosts and looking for 2-3 more to share the expenses); and
- Student Legacy Art (these are the hand painted tiles you will find throughout the school).
If you are interested in hosting, making a monetary donation or lending your time to one of these events please contact Melissa Rausch or Carla Giannelli. If you are new to experiences and/or would like more information about hosting or the guidelines we follow, please let one of us know.
