Committee Chairs: Lindsey Burnette & Holly Francis

One of our important volunteer opportunities is being a Room Ambassador! Each classroom has two or three Room Ambassadors for the school year. Room Ambassador positions are first come, first served and the sign-up list will be released at 6 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 9 in the Weekly Howl e-newsletter.

Here are some ways that our Room Ambassadors support teachers and students:

• Leading recognition and celebrations for designated teacher(s) and assistants (usually related to birthdays, holidays, Staff Appreciation Week and the end of the school year)
• Attending and leading in-classroom parties and events with the guidance of teacher(s)
• Supporting teacher(s) with any additional classroom support (cutting, copying, supply collection, etc.)
• Notifying classroom of noteworthy school-wide or classroom events
• Sending monthly reminders to Hound Dog of the Month families about both checking out and returning yard signs.

Available resources for Room Ambassadors:

• Access to the PTA email system, Constant Contact (easy-to-use templates available and PTA members can show you the ropes), for sending out classroom notices
• List of your classroom teacher(s) and instructional assistant(s) favorites so gift-giving and recognition hits the mark
• Monetary budget to use towards classroom events
