Parties are held in each classroom in the afternoon. Parties typically include a snack, game/activity, and a craft (to allow student creativity—class parties typically include an open ended craft rather than just ordering ‘ready made kits’.) The class party committee organizes the parties for every class and each class party is run by parent volunteers.
On party day, volunteers meet at the school to gather party supplies and instructions and then go to their designated classroom to run the party! Each class room has 2-3 volunteers. Volunteers must have their badge*. Volunteer sign up here!
