Jef and I will come tonight but we will be late. At our meetings at school today we came up with some jobs that parents who are willing and able might be able to help with. Here is the list: Parent Jobs: Parent committee could create a postcard stating that SSFS is accepting applications, would only be sent to the Southside zip code. Jess Sundin will work with teachers to draft postcard and will help coordinate. Instead of mailing the postcards, volunteers will canvas the neighborhood. Does anyone else know Results Plus? Alexandrea is familiar with several donor databases although not this one specifically. Alexandrea will connect with Sherri. Flo would like to be involved in donor outreach. Parents who can help Mel finalize grants? (Whole Foods grants, Target grants, ect…)Jessica F sent email stating she can help with this. General volunteers from parents who are able to help Skill list from parents - Jess Sundin is collecting skill list. She will compile the list as a resource guide for teachers. There is a small group who is starting the work of a parent organization. The first step would be to ask the Board at this Saturday's meeting for permission to start group and send out school communication to invite parents to the inaugural meeting which could be mid July. Clemma is spearheading this group. The group tabled discussion on a special meeting. Lola will be reaching out to the 14 people who called the meeting to get input on whether those members want to proceed with the special meeting or not. Thanks everyone and see you tonight! Thank you all for everything!!!!

While the sense of urgency had passed, there is still a great deal of work to get Family School back on a sound footing before fall. Tonight, we can figure out how to keep ourselves organized over the summer, hear from the teachers what concrete help is needed now, and begin to address our plans going forward. And of course, we can pay each other on the backs for a job well done do far! We also need to make plans to invite the expanded involvement of all the school's families. I will make sure folks can get in & out of the building tonight, but I'm not up for the job of chairing. Any willing volunteers? Abrazos,Jess (the short)
