How Do I Volunteer to Help?

Once or twice a year, parent volunteers act as Art Ambassadors by presenting art appreciation lessons in their child's classroom (K-5th Grade). Lessons are hands-on fun and designed to enhance and complement the current art class curriculum. 

 

Lessons include a presentation and art project.  The presentation content and all necessary project materials are provided by the PTSA and volunteers will be given the lesson plan to familiarize them with the material ahead of time.

 

No art experience is necessary.  A volunteer sign-up form is  sent out about a month prior to the grade level project, seeking volunteers. Volunteers can help in their children's class (1-HOUR) depending on the volunteer's availability.

 

An Art Ambassador Lead Parent volunteer goes into each classroom and within 1-hour, explains the project while the remainder of the class time is used for completing the project and having FUN with the kids!  

IMPORTANT:  Typically 1-2 weeks prior to the project, "Project Details" and "Volunteer Duties" are emailed out to volunteers from the Art Ambassador Co-Chairs. Details of the project including photos will be sent out via email (prior to the scheduled event).  All projects require set-up and clean up with some additional duties as needed.  

IMPORTANT: Volunteers are recruited the month prior to the AA projects and all scheduled dates and times for each Teacher will be provided for review against your schedule.  Each classroom will receive an email from their classroom parent rep or directly from the Art Ambassador Co-Chairs that will include the sign-up form in order to volunteer.
