When I think of spring, I think of springing to action! This is the season to ponder what your leadership role for the 2008-2009 school year will be. For those people who are currently committee chairs please consider re-enlisting for the same or new position for next year. For new folks, consider taking a grade representative position! Think about being the pizza chair, chairing traffic and carpools, organizing volunteers, writing the “Strait Talk” and “Sea Worthy” (Lauren leaves this year!) or planning for cultural arts. There’s fund raising, alumni liason, and hospitality! There’s something for everyone so spring forward and sail into a leadership role.
Have a great rest of the month.
“It is all
good.”
MaP is the parent/teacher organization of The Magellan Charter School. Its
purpose is to assist in the promotion of excellence in
programs, facilities, and
atmosphere for education. MaP provides aid and services to the school's
educational, social, and financial activities. MaP meetings are held
monthly. Meeting times are published in Strait Talk, a bi-monthly newsletter.
All are welcome to attend.
Parents are integral to the success of our school. Not only does parental
involvement greatly benefit the actual running of the school, but it also
conveys an important message to the students--the well-being of our school
and the education of our children is of utmost importance to Magellan parents.
At Magellan, parents volunteer their skills and talents in a variety of ways
on a daily basis. For example:
volunteering in the classroom through enrichment activities
providing supervision during lunch (giving the teachers a brief planning period)
planning "teacher appreciation" events
purchasing educational resources through fundraising activities
organizing community service and cultural arts programs
chaperoning field trips
maintaining the physical facilities (painting, upkeep, and cleaning)
running the copy center
performing office duties
publishing a bi-monthly school newsletter
encouraging community involvement in our school
arranging social activities for the students to attend after school
assisting with transportation and carpool procedures
