Gym supervisors needed

One of the blessings of our new space is the gym! After kids eat their lunch (no food in the gym, please), they are welcome to burn off some energy there. During the colder, darker winter months, this will be especially welcome! 
 
In order to continue using the space in this way, we need moms who are willing to be the adult eyes in the room during those 20 minutes or so, ensuring kids can keep using the gym. This is an ideal service opportunity for those moms who pick up their kids after second hour or bring their student for third hour. Siblings are welcome to join in the fun. 
 
If you’re able to bless us in this way, please contact Erika Donalson – our study hall supervisor during 2nd period or lunch time, or Zoae Spackman – study hall supervisor during 3rd period.
 
We are in need of a minimum of 1 supervisor per Study Hall and a lunchtime supervisor, but we would love to have more. In previous years, the supervisor commitment has been for the year. Our hope is that we have enough families who are willing to volunteer that we can have a rotating schedule and/or a long list of on-call volunteers to fill in when a volunteer is unable to make it in for whatever reason – out of town, sickness, emergency, etc.

Are you willing to be a backup supervisor for Study Hall?

We currently have one supervisor per period available on a regular basis, and a handful of backups. Please keep in mind that if they are sick or called away on an emergency and we don’t have a supervisor available, we will not be able to offer the study hall and unsupervised students will not be able to remain on campus between classes. The short version of this is that we cannot leave students unattended, so if we don’t have a volunteer, we don’t have Study Hall.
 
If you are willing to take on a shift for the year, on a rotating basis, or as a backup/on-call supervisor, please let us know ASAP.
 
Study Hall supervisors are responsible for taking attendance during the period they supervise, and helping to provide a safe and quiet place for students to work on homework or an activity while they wait for their next class. Our past supervisors would often bring a book, crochet project, etc. to work on during their shift.
 

I can tell you personally that this is also where some of my dearest friendships at Achieve have been made. If you are willing to volunteer this year, please contact Deanna Kangas (click for email) as soon as possible. Thank you.
