FAME Volunteers Are URGENTLY Needed
Our FAME (Fine Arts Mini Experience) program is at risk due to a shortage of volunteers. Being a volunteer is a great way to help out at Stanton without a weekly time commitment. Parent volunteers teach lessons to their child’s classroom about an artist and musician/ composer and facilitate an art project. The kids greatly enjoy the program and look forward to each lesson!
We may be missing docents for the below classes:
Mrs. Morgan - TK
Ms. Wong - K
Ms. Souvannasane - 1st
Ms. Kelly - 1st
Mrs. Morgan - 2nd
Mrs. Duncan - 2nd
Ms. Franco - 3rd
Ms. Johnson - 3rd
Ms. Grippi - 4th
Mr. Domingo - 4/5
Without your help, these classes may end up without FAME this year. Please contact Prudy Foran at prudy@prudyforan.com if you are interested in volunteering.
