SOS (Serve Our Schools) Club
Dear 5th grade Parent/Guardian,
Your 5th
grade student has the opportunity to become a member of the Serve Our
School or SOS Club. The SOS Club ‘hires' 5th grade students for
leadership positions with different responsibilities throughout the
school. Students apply for these ‘jobs' and are supervised by various
staff members according to their job. Students will be filling these
jobs and services:
Media Assistants-Assist media staff in library
News Anchors - Work as anchors for our morning news show.
Ambassadors-Help with welcoming new students and with school assemblies
Recycling Teams -- Collect materials for recycling from the classrooms and offices.
Flag Team -- Responsible for putting up and taking down the flags daily!
We believe this program has a positive impact on the whole school by providing valuable services necessary to school success. 5th
graders acquire real life experiences that translate easily into life
skills and allow them to develop responsibility and pride in how they
contribute and serve others. We hope this will help instill a sense of
leadership, self confidence, and service within the students that
participate.
When we have matched students with jobs, we will
be asking for your signature. SOS jobs serve real school needs and rely
on students arriving on time in the morning so that they can accomplish
these tasks. Some jobs are timelier than others. Students will need your
help keeping their commitment. You can help by getting them to school
between 7:30-7:40.
Thank you for your support of this program.
We hope this will be a great experience for your child. Please feel
free to contact any of us with questions or concerns regarding the SOS
program.
Sincerely,
Ms. Manley and Mrs. Hallowell, 5th Grade Teachers
Ms. Klein, Principal
