Bledsoe LOVES, LOVES, LOVES its volunteers! Our
volunteers are the friendliest, most organized, caring, capable, and cheerful
group of parents in all of America (at the 'best school in America,'
naturally).
There are several positions available in the
library. Volunteers can pick and choose from any of the duties below.
1. Shelving: Volunteers commit to a regular
time (weekly, twice a month, monthly) to return checked-in books to the
shelves. These are the bread-and-butter volunteers of the operation. The
library couldn't possibly run without this help. [Or it could, but it would be
very messy and no one would be able to find anything.]
2. Specials Volunteers: Since our school has
grown so much, the library is helping out with the specials schedule. The
library teaches a set class each day to grades K, 1, and 2. The library is
looking for volunteers to help with the kindergarten and 1st grade classes
(2nd grade volunteers are welcome but not obligatory). The classes come every
six days and will be coordinated through the room parent during the 08-09
school year. This job can be done solo or shared with other parents.
3. Event Help: The library operates programs
throughout the year, such as visiting authors, reading programs, and other
speical events. Let us know if you'd be willing to volunteer on a as needed
basis, we'll call you to see if you're available when it's time.
To help keep us all organized, the library releases
a volunteer calendar monthly. This calendar will be sent home with your
student and posted on this website. The calendar is posted here
(once school begins). All Bledsoe volunteers must complete a background
check before beginning to work. In the meantime, you can read the 08-09
volunteer manual under the Downloads
page.
