Residents of Ashford Park can impact the lives of students by volunteering at Ashford Park
School. Following is a list of opportunities where
you can serve and make a difference.
Reading: The Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade classes are
always happy to have adults come and read to them. By doing so, you are making
reading interesting for students, some of whom have no one at home to read to
them. Children interested in reading are children who are more likely to
succeed.
Assistance in the Media Center: There is always a lot of activity in
our Media Center and anyone who would like to assist with cataloguing,
shelving and other organizational activities is welcome to do so.
Grant writing: We are looking into ways to expand our curriculum, which
would be funded by grants. Anyone with grant writing experience is encouraged
to share those skills.
Mentoring: Some children need one-on-one mentoring and tutoring. We
would love for community volunteers to work with these students. Remember you
must complete a training program to participate. The school can help arrange
for this training.
Participate in school activities: Many activities throughout the year
are designed to give parents and prospective parents the opportunity to learn
more about the school, meet the staff, and talk to other parents about their
experiences with Ashford Park Elementary.
