Volunteering

Dear Parents,

Now that the first week of school is over, and summer is behind us, it's time to get back into the swing of the school routine. As you know, one of MCA's unique qualities is volunteerism. There are still quite a few opportunities to serve.

Cleaning the Bathrooms - Everyday - about an hour each day. You may sign up for only one day a week that would be fine. - Just a side note, we save about $2200/year when this is covered by volunteers.

Cleaning the Elementary Floors - no experience necessary - training is provided - they are cleaned every other week and it's a two-person job. - about 10 hrs/month per person. - this position saves the school about $1600

Afternoon Office Coverage – 1:50 PM - 2:50 PM - This is needed everyday, but again you can sign up for just one or more days depending on your schedule.

Campbell Soup Labels - collecting and submitting the labels

Box Tops for Education - collecting and submitting the box tops

School Nurse - making sure records are accurate and up-to-date

Upper School Art - If you have a talent in art, share your gift with the upper school.

Elementary Music - teach the 1st - 6th graders how to keep rhythm and read notes.

Elementary Foreign Language - come in once or twice a week in the afternoon and teach a language, Spanish or Sign Language etc.

Elementary Recess Duty - 10:15 AM - 10:30 AM (except Thursdays) and/or 12:20 PM - 12:40 PM

Maintain Water Cooler Jugs - There are 3 jugs that need refilling periodically. Person would be responsible for checking and refilling as needed. Refills can be done through Monadnock Water. (Volunteer will be reimbursed for any money spent. See office for details.)

Remember, if you are unable to participate in volunteering, you may compensate for your hours by committing to pay $12.50 per hour not volunteered. (That’s $500 for all 40 hours.) This money gets used to pay someone to do the positions that don't get filled.

Thank you!
