PARENT MEMO
Ways to serve Redwood
The following are a list of ways you as a parent can serve Redwood and support its mission and vision. We do not require you to volunteer but we would encourage you to get involved! RCA can not function without the support of committed parents! A big THANK YOU ahead of time!
School Building Coordinator—we are looking for a person(s) who enjoy design and creating warm spaces. We need help from hanging student’s art or tackling bigger projects like a design of a common area space (think like a living room) in our last classroom that needs a make-over. There is an immediate need—to help hand black-out curtains (by Sept 9). I’m in! Sign me up!
Outdoor Courtyard Designer—we are looking for someone who is creative and has a vision. We would like to create an outdoor classroom for our students. Ideally this person is someone who loves design, is handy, and delights in creating an environment for students to spend more time outside. Plans have to be approved by St. Mark offices and $1,000 is the budget. I’m in! Sign me up!
Garden Committee Member—we are looking for 2 to 3 parents who have a green thumb (or two, or three). We are working with Seeds STL to build a garden in our courtyard area. This would require attending scheduled meetings and seeing the job through to 3 phases of installment. I’m in! Sign me up!
Work Day Coordinator—we are looking for someone who can help us lead 2 work day projects at our school (one in the fall and one in the spring). We have voluntarily asked for ways to serve the parish. They have given us a few outside jobs (i.e. painting, mulching etc) that they would love helping hands. This person would communicate with the parish, help plan the day, communicate with RCA about needed items and execute the job. I’m in! Sign me up!
Development Team Member—RCA is looking for fellow parents who want to support the mission and vision of RCA by lending their financial expertise and wisdom. Someone who loves numbers and also is willing meet on a regular basis to help steward our resources well. This team member(s) would also participate in donor development and researching grants. I’m in! Sign me up!
Substitute Mentor—We are always looking for those parents who enjoy being in the classroom but can’t commit to a full year. You receive $150 for the day and lesson plans are given in advance. I’m in! Sign me up!
Handicraft helpers—we are looking for parents, grandparents or friends who like to sew/knit and be with children. We have selected projects that can be completed independently however we will ALWAYS take a helping hand to help cut, rethread needles, and keep track of projects. We are looking for helpers from 1:15-2:45 pm on Tuesdays. Note: You do not have to commit for every Tuesday. We do ask however you commit to a minimum of 2 weeks at a time. I’m in! Sign me up!
Hospitality Host—We are looking for 2-3 ppl to help provide light refreshments for our Mentor meetings. First meeting is after school on September 25th. It does not have to extravagant but something special to serve the RCA team. This person would also help stock hospitality items for our team (i.e coffee lots of coffee) to use if needed. I’m in! Sign me up!
Mentor Appreciation—We are looking for someone who will take the lead on blessing our team a couple times through-out the year. The gifts do not have to be big. It is the thought that counts. I’m in! Sign me up!
Church Staff Appreciation—We love being at St. Mark’s and we want to make sure we continue to forge strong partnerships. This person would help put together a pastoral appreciation gift in the month of November and during Lent. We heart Fr. Bob, Bridget, and Jessi who help run the offices. I’m in! Sign me up!
Enrichment Day Host—Kim Kuntz has organized wonderful opportunities for us to be together and delight in the love of learning. We are looking for someone who would like to help and support her hosting these events. The biggest need is being a Day-camp helper on October 28th and Over-night helper on Feb 27-28. I’m in! Sign me up!
Supply Coordinator—do you like to collect things? Do you like to get free things? Do you like going to the Teacher Recycling Store? We are looking for someone who will help us continue to supply our students with lovely yarn, fabric and other free goodies. This person is not afraid to ask for donations and research places that are looking to get rid of things that we can turn into beautiful art and handicrafts. I’m in! Sign me up!
Yearbook Designer—Are you a pro at the digital arts? Can you create a photo book at a snap of a finger? We need you! This person would help use the pictures throughout the year to create a fantastic yearbook for our families to have as a keepsake. I’m in! Sign me up!
