Dear Danhi Parents,

Being that Sagamore is a public community-based school, its success is greatly enhanced by volunteer parents of the children that attend it. In an effort to support our children at Sagamore and give them a well-rounded strong start with their education, volunteer parents from the class have created a class website and a Bring It Volunteer Sign Up list that has been coordinated with Ms. Danhi. The other kindergarten classes have already done very similar things and these tools will help Ms. Danhi and our room parent coordinate volunteers in the class and can allow for greater parent involvement.

You can read about the different volunteer opportunities on the new website recently created by one of our volunteer parents. Opportunities are separated by type and include short descriptions for each of them along with the time commitment involved. Some of the activities are date/time specific and others are not, allowing you to schedule it based on what may work best for you. Each opportunity is no longer than 1 hour. Opportunities have been added beginning next week through the holidays. We can all add opportunities to the Bring It Sign Up list at any time and will continue to do so throughout the year via other volunteers and room parents. Your ideas are always welcome as this is a class-owned effort and we want your involvement.

All class parents are encouraged to add to the website so it can serve as a helpful resource for all of us. It can be a great tool to share teaching and learning aids, technology-based learning recommendations (apps and web-based material), homework assignments, announcements, fun events for the class, etc. The web site is easy to use and we really encourage you all to have a look if you have not already done so.

Please take a few minutes to review the Bring It Volunteer opportunities and sign up for at least one (although we encourage you to sign up for more than one). These volunteer events take only a small time commitment from us and can add tremendous value to what our children will gain from their first year at Sagamore. Ms. Danhi needs our help and the kids love to have us there!

Let us know if you run into any confusion with the website or the Bring It Sign Up List/Volunteer Opportunities. Several of us volunteer parents are putting our personal and work time into this and need your help to make sure it works, as well as commitment to help move us forward.

Best regards,

Volunteer Parents of Ms. Danhi’s Kindergarten Class
