Dear Parents & Guardians,

Last year, we had an exciting and successful school year in large part due to the wonderful support of our parents. A new and exciting school year has begun and the help of our parents’ will be more important than ever. Because of the impact of the recent budget cuts, many areas have been significantly impacted. We are asking for volunteers to help throughout the year in the classroom, library, special events and more.

As the saying goes, a little help from a lot of hands goes a long way! Our goal is to create teams for each day of the week so we have a wonderful network of volunteers who can help each other and create a flexible volunteer environment. Of course, we will have many other volunteer opportunities to fit every parent at Clara Love including night volunteer opportunities, projects from home and even a volunteer space to allow parents with young children to volunteer.  Once we have a list of volunteers, we will match you with your areas of interest and create opportunities that fit your schedule! Training and tours will also be available for interested volunteers. What a great way to get to know your child’s teachers and staff!

Not sure how much you can volunteer but interested in making a difference? Sign up for the Clara Love Three for Me Promise. Studies show that by volunteering just three hours a year, your child develops a deeper understanding of how much you value and respect their education. By pledging to your child that you will volunteer 3 hours over the course of the entire year (although you can continue to volunteer as many hours as you would like past the first three), you will help out tremendously. PTA decided to initiate this program this school year to increase volunteering, while giving volunteers the comfort knowing that they can say “no” after contributing just three hours of their time. By giving the school and your child just a few hours of your time, you can help SO MUCH! Check the Three For Me box on the volunteer form to make your pledge today.

Thank you for considering this new level of volunteerism. We are always amazed at the generosity of our Clara Love parents. Thank you so much!
