There were about fifteen of us in attendance at the second parent group meeting. We started in small groups, introducing ourselves and talking about our children.
Rachael mentioned this blogsite again and how to log in.
Rachael mentioned that there is an opportunity for parents to pray together Monday mornings from 8:15-8:30 in room 141.
Raquel talked about the resource fair. We discussed also having a book and clothes exchange at the resource fair. We talked about having a movie night at the same time, so that the kids had something to do while the parents gathered resources. We talked about having a dropbox in the office where parents could share needs for the holidays (food, clothes, toys) and having another list for parents who were willing to collect and donate resources for families at the school in need. We felt like this would be a good way to show support to one another. Deniqua mentioned the Goodfellows program.
Hilary talked about classroom ambassadors and met with ambassador volunteers after the parent group meeting. Some teachers still have no parent ambassadors.
Rachael mentioned the Facebook parent group that Erik created as a means for parents to communicate about volunteer opportunities. For example, if one parent was going to bring kites to recess and fly them with the children at recess, he/she could let other parents know the day and time, so they could join in if they wanted. However, Rachael confessed to not knowing much about Facebook or how to utilize groups on Facebook. Erik wasn't present to enlighten her/the group :).
Rachael talked about flash mob volunteering again. She mentioned her hopes of Ms. Liebler teaching some of them a little Zumba dance, that parents can bust out with at lunch one day. She also mentioned her plan to dress up and go trick-or-treating at children's classrooms on Monday (if granted Mr. Donner's permission).
Next Parent Group Meeting: Friday, November 18, 8:30am
