Retired and wanting to be part of an active, exciting program? Do you have some regular daytime hours that you could invest some time for a better tomorrow? Will you be a volunteer for Southwest High School?
Are you a writer or worked with technical writing in your job? Then may a couple hours in the writing lab would be helpful? The same is true for the math lab. Are you good at math or a retired math teacher or engineer?
How about advertisement or commercial art or media broadcasting or film editing or production? Do you speak an additional language other than English? Working with world language students or being a guide might assist you in staying fresh with that language and provide a great service to students.
Do you just people and can answer a phone and listen? Or help parents get lunches, homework, textbooks, the car keys and a bunch of other things that student forget in the morning to their children? How about being a hall monitor during testing or a testing proctor?
If have time we have needs. There are a million ways adults can be helpful in the educational process. This is a major business with about 2,000 people trying to make it work, explain things, match this to that, and just direct traffic.
Volunteer some time if you have it. You would be a great role model just by being there. We have training meetings for volunteers so you don't have to charge forward without some hints and suggestions. Most of the time it is fun. We want your time and support but you need to feel comfortable within that role. We will help match skills, time and talents.
If you have an interest please complete the Volunteer form in the opening packet and return it to school. Or call 612-668-3030 and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator.
It takes us all to make this work.
