Helping+Hands

Ross Elementary Helping Hands Program The helping hands committee is currently looking for volunteers with children in grades K-1 to participate in their child or children’s lunch period. Helping the children through the lunch line, supplying them with forgotten utensils, or opening containers allows for the children to have enough time to finish their lunch and makes the lunch period a much smoother process for both students and staff alike.


 * When is Lunch Time?**

Kindergarten and First grade will eat lunch together from 11:30- 12:00pm. Upon entering the building please stop by the office and pick up an apron and sign the attendance sheet before making your way to the cafeteria. You will find the aprons and sign in notebook housed in a plastic set of drawers by the back window.


 * How Do I help?**

Once you have signed in and picked up an apron in the office, proceed to the cafateria and fill your apron with utensils, napkins and straws. Once the children are seated they will raise their hands and ask for these forgotten items, as well as for help opening those goodies that they are about to eat! Lastly, when the K-1st grade period is dismissed please help wipe down tables before leaving so that they are clean for the next lunch period. Buckets with rags are located near the condiment stations.

**Sign Me Up!** If you would like to volunteer your time, please fill out the volunteer form on the home page or email me at __ cweingartner@verizon.net __. Thank you in advance for your time! The PTA and Ross Elementary staff sincerely appreciates it and the children love to have a visit from that special someone! May 2013
