Used Clothing Coordinators:  Need 1 or 2 volunteers who can receive used clothing, “bag and tag it” to get it ready to sell, and post it to our SignUpGenius account.  Maintain inventory of used clothing and spiritwear.  Most work can be done at home but come to the school on occasion to add clothing or distribute clothing that has sold.  Time commitment: 2 hours per month as needed.

Student Social Activities/Party Committee:  Need 4 to 7 volunteers who can organize and execute various student activities and parties throughout the school year, such as: tribe day games during lunch, end of semester party in Dec., end of year picnic and field day in May.  Also to organize various social gatherings throughout year on school holidays or weekends such as: Mud Run, Triangle Rock Club, Defy Gravity, etc. Time commitment:  a few hours on occasion as you plan and execute the events.

Yearbook Coordinators: Opportunities for yearbook:

·         Organize page background and photo selection and layout using our TreeRing yearbook account (very easy to learn how to work with)

·         Work with students to collect quotes and information such as sports records throughout the year

·         Work with students to write descriptions of events

Need volunteers with talent in any of these areas.  Very helpful if someone is willing to oversee that each significant school event has a photographer and very brief description about it written soon afterward. This work can be often be done at home.  We are trying to build a Yearbook Club for the students but do not yet know of their interest.  But the students will need parent volunteers to shepherd the work.  Time commitment:  2 or 3 hours per month as needed.

Arts of the Swordsmen (student talent show but with Broadway quality production!):  Starting in January, we will need parents who have any of the following talents or know of someone with these talents who can work with our students to develop their artistic expression for Arts of the Swordsmen, which will be performed in late April or May.  Talents needed are singing, dancing, instruments, acting, percussion, costumes/wardrobe, drawing/painting (art displays), photography, etc.  Contact parent Travis Kiker at tbkiker@gmail.com if you have any questions or can help.  And let him know if your son has any artistic talent to showcase!
