Last minute room rep additions and changes

zbluesun — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:03:15 +0000

207: Sumi Cho and Melissa Stern are official room reps with Rachel Gross as volunteer.

301: Judy Ocon and Aida Melendez are official room reps with Nancy Ericksen as volunteer.
307: Cynthia Cabrera will be joining Eva Grondal as official room reps.

The following volunteers have joined the early childhood teams as well:

101: Jenny Zuluago

104: Aimee Kam

300 & 306 are still without reps or volunteers, so unless someone wants to take that on, we will pair up with sister early childhood classes. These early childhood reps and volunteers will be available to additionally assist room 300 and 306 with special events, fund raising and helping the teachers, parents and students.
Room 300 will partner with 100 & 101–

Rm 100: Elsa Rivera and Katrina Wittkamp

Rm 101: Vivian Barrett and Jane Boal Walther

Room 306 will partner with 104 & 107

Rm 104: Diane Gansho and Maria Sotelo

Rm 107: Marina Claudio and Bonnie Kenaz-Mara

Reps, please contact the appropriate upper grade teacher with your contact information and introduce yourselves. Upper grades usually don’t need that much assistance, so the work load won’t be much more. As a Drummond school family, we want to make sure all parents have parent contacts and all teachers, including Jr. High, have a ready pool of volunteers to call on.

Coaches needed.

laura — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:16:04 +0000

Drummond School needs parent coaches for a new Girls on the Run
afterschool program working with 6-8th grade girls. While the official program
won’t be up and “running” until next March, coaches need to undergo
one day of cpr training and commit to at least 1 night a week after
school working and running with the girls at Walsh Park. (See
GirlsOnTheRun.org for more information.)
Ms. Rejman would like to get an informal program up and running this
fall, so if you are interested in building Drummond student’s confidence
and self-esteem through a little bit of jogging, please consider
committing to coach! For more information, contact Ms. Rejman at
.

Last public posting regarding room reps

zbluesun — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:13:36 +0000

We now have a complete listing and all rooms are represented except 8th grade. Reps, please contact your teachers, introduce yourselves if they don’t yet know you, and give your e-mail and contact information to them. Please be available to your parents and teachers during the upcoming orientation nights.

As soon as I have all the rep’s e-mails organized, I will privately send you room rep responsibility documents. Feel free to contact me with any questions or issues.
Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response. Thanks in advance to the reps and volunteers for your time this year. Together we can achieve great things.

Dear Drummond Parents,

The next two weeks are chock full of Open Houses/Orientations for each cycle at Drummond. Please plan to attend the Open House for your child’s cycle.

Attendance by parents at their cycle’s events is strongly recommended.

Middle School Open House- Tuesday, August 19 6:00-7:30pm

Early Childhood Orientation- Wednesday, August 20 5:30-6:15pm for 3, 4 & 5 year olds; Kindergarten parents will stay from 6:30-7:00. Early Childhood parents are strongly recommended to attend.

Elementary 1 Open House- Wednesday, August 27 6:00-7:15pm
