Trout Volunteers Needed

We are looking for volunteers to help with the Greenwood Trout Group. Students will be raising trout from eggs to fish in a tank in the cafeteria. The volunteers responsibilities will be to oversee the students as they test the water daily for different chemicals. The total time is approximately 15 minutes a day. The time of day will be flexible. If you could please consider volunteering once a week, bi-weekly or monthly. Anytime you could give would be greatly appreciated.

If you are available and would like to help, please contact Amy Andre at 301-774-2857 or amyandre@verizon.net. Thanks!

Volunteers Needed

Do you want to get more involved in your child’s education? Volunteer! No matter what your ability or how many hours you can contribute, we have something for you! Take a look at our volunteer page, and see if you can help.  Even if a position does not say ‘Help Wanted’ and you are interested, let the chairperson know. Many committees can use more than one person to help it run smoothly. We hope to see you soon!

We are looking for volunteers for the 2011-12 school year.

Holiday Craft Nights, Variety Show, Accelerated Reader, Handwriting Without Tears, Room Parents, Greenwood Gator Guides, and the Media Center are currently needing volunteers.
