Volunteer Opportunities for Parents and Students:

Garden Adopt–A–Spot	Parents volunteer to help maintain areas of the Rockenbaugh Native Garden and Wildlife Sanctuary. They work as much or a little as their time permits. Contact Neilia Keiser, if interested.
Aluminum Can Recycling	One or two parents needed to collect aluminum cans at school every week or two and take them to the recycling center two or three times a year.
Plastic Bag Recycling	One or two parents to assist in rolling plastic bags from Kroger and sending them to the collection center.
Science Explorations Day	On October 26th teachers will lead students in a variety of activities. Parents are needed for a few hours or more to assist. Parents are also needed to copy, cut, and prepare the activities before the actual day. All supplies are provided.
Super Science Sale	During the week of November 5 -9, parents are needed to volunteer to assist in sales for 2 hour (or more) shifts. The store will be in the science lab and will be open from 7:30AM until 4 PM. It will stay open later on one evening.
Pet Purchaser	Parents volunteer to go to Petco once a week for one month to purchase crickets and other supplies for the animals. The supplies are charged to our science lab so that volunteers do not incur any expense other than their time and effort.
Other Programs:
Recycling Team	Recycling Team is a service opportunity available to all 3rd grade students. The science lab needs a few dedicated students to help collect paper to recycle from each classroom on either Tuesday or Friday mornings. Adult supervision will be provided when the students carry the paper outside. Sign-up is September 7th.
Lab Assistants	Lab Assistant is a service opportunity available to all 4th grade students. Lab assistants will perform a few simple chores including taking down the lab stools, sharpening pencils, feeding some of the animals, and checking all animals for water. When finished with their duties, they will be allowed to hold several animals such as the tortoise, the hamster, or the leopard gecko. Sign-up is September 7th.
Recycling	Abitibi Consolidated collects paper from our school and pays us for it! Please bring your paper products to be recycled to the dumpster located on the north side of the school near the Rockenbaugh Native Garden and Wildlife Sanctuary. Paper from a business is welcome. Aluminum cans are recycled in the teachers’ lounge and outside of the science lab. Plastic bags from Kroger are also recycled. Enviro-Bag, company that makes recycled trash bags pays cash for the Kroger bags. (They only pay for Kroger bags because Kroger sells their trash bags.) It helps if the Kroger bags are flattened to their original shape and folded as we have to pack them in a specific way for returning.
