Currently, the tasks in the support group are spread across too few shoulders, and we would be delighted if anyone would like to get involved.
It's not all that bad in terms of time commitment. We meet for a short weekly or bi-weekly catch-up online (currently Tuesday evenings) and discuss what's on the agenda. Depending on your involvement, you don't always have to attend every call (e.g., we don't always have events to prepare for).
Specifically, we're looking for parents for these two roles:
There's not much left to do this year 🙂.
Typically, there are a few coordination issues to be resolved:
Which AG leader is available when?
When do most classes not have afternoon classes so the group can take place there?
Which rooms are available and at what times?
Registrations are then advertised, and parents are notified of their child’s participation via email.
Depending on your interest and time availability, this role can be limited to helping with the event itself (mainly staffing our support group booth, selling clothing, or, more recently, popcorn, and answering questions) or it can involve organizing the event. We're very flexible and welcome any help!
If you're interested in one of the above roles, or even just getting involved in general, feel free to join an online call and hear who we are, what we discuss, and whether this is something for you. Please send us an email or contact us at vorstand@dickens-foerderkreis.org
We are always looking for committed team members. If you you feel you have the energy and the drive to commit to improving our children's environment at school, then please join us! Please bring adequate IT skills in order to be able to work in a self sufficient way.
To contact us, please send an email: vorstand@dickens-foerderkreis.org, or talk to us. All members of the board are happy to answer any question you might have.
