LEGO Robotics After School Club – Janet Krech and Lynne Diaz of our church lead this club from 3:00-4:45 on Tuesdays and Thursdays September 30-November 20.  This year the kids will learn to design, build, and program a robot to drive around and interact with a LEGO archeological dig site. Volunteers would work with small groups of 2-3 students.  Programming or robotic experience is not necessary, as the kids are supposed to be solving the problems. 

Jog-a-Thon October 10 from 1:00-3:00 pm – Volunteers help fill and refill cups of water for thirsty elementary runners, and possibly tally laps on runners’  bibs.

Vision and Hearing Screening October 14 8:30-11 am – About ten volunteers are needed during this timeframe to test kids’ hearing or vision, and volunteers receive a quick training at 8:30. Other volunteers help guide kids to the next station, collect paperwork, or encourage quietness during hearing tests.

Lunchtime Run Club is starting up again soon from 11:45-12:45 on Thursdays and Fridays.  Kids run laps and you tally them or scan their tags on a computer and reward kids with beads to put on a chain for each 5 miles they run. 

Scholastic Book Fair Date TBD- Putnam Elementary students have $7 of free credit to spend at their book fair. Volunteers help them find books within their budget. Last year the shifts were Thursday from 9-11 or 12:30-2:30 or Friday from 12:30-2:30.

Please contact Janet Krech with your interest or to sign up to receive emails for other opportunities.
