Volunteer Wolfpack! by Jamie Brown


Welcome Back Wolfpack! I hope everyone had a memorable summer with their families, but I am happy to be back in a building full of students. This summer I had the opportunity to attend the Texas PTA Seminar with some of our PTA Executive Board Members which turned out to be a positive eye opening experience. I attended several sessions that ignited a fire inside of me and can’t wait to put some of the ideas into action. At other times, I found myself listening to speakers and attendees talk about their struggles with getting parents involved and felt proud that I was a part of a school community that rallies together like a family.  The volunteers at TWE go above and beyond on a daily basis, and our school, teachers and students all benefit from their collective efforts. Thank you volunteers for all of the time and energy you put in to make our school and community a better place. TWE wouldn’t be the same without YOU!

This year I have the privilege of being the VIPS (Volunteers in Public Schools) Liaison for TWE! I will be working with Margarita Sharma (PTA  VP of Volunteers) to provide opportunities for parents to give back and support our school through volunteer service. Our campus has many opportunities for parents to volunteer that include homeroom parent, mystery readers, work baskets, workroom helpers, library volunteers, Watchdogs, and Packathon just to name a few. Please check out the PTA website to see a full list of volunteer opportunities.  www.twepta.org

 

There are opportunities for moms and dads with varied levels of commitment. Getting involved in our school community will allow you to meet new people, build relationships with other TWE parents and staff members, and will give you a true sense of belonging. We know it can be intimidating at first, but we are here to help and guide you in any way that we can. We can’t wait to see your smiling face on our campus.
