5th Grade Event
This is the celebration for our kids that are moving on. It's a great party and we need lots of parents to pull it off. There is truly something for everyone to do, so if you have a graduating 5th grader this is a great way to volunteer.
Assemblies
We generally do 3-4 assemblies per year, which are chosen by the chair along with the principal's input. You should be on campus the day of the assembly to insure everything goes smoothly. You also need to make arrangements for MPR set up and anything our visitors might need.
Art Docent
This one you can actually sign up for with your teacher. You will do a series of 4-6 art activities in the classroom. Don't worry, you have step by step instructions to follow and materials available to you. It's fun to do it with a partner, too. The Art Docent Program takes place in early Spring.
Book Fair
We have two Book Fairs each year, one a couple weeks before the winter holiday break and one at the end of May. We need lots and lots of volunteers for set up, cashiering, organization, Family Night, and clean up.
Box Tops, Escrip, Soup Labels
These are ongoing programs that help produce a good chunk of money. We need help with data entry and counting.
Communications
Data entry, data entry, did I say data entry? You will also assist in putting together the School Directory.
Dinner/Dance
Another event with tons of different ways you can volunteer. From data entry to assembling baskets, from soliciting businesses to set up on the day of the event we need an army to pull this one off!

We need people to sort and organize, run errands, set up for the night, work shifts as lab directors (training provided) and of course clean up! It's the most fun you'll ever have while being useful.

100's DayHundred's
Day is the 100th Day of School. Usually it falls the week before
Valentine's Day. As a school, we traditionally collect THOUSANDS of
new, unopened socks (and underwear) for Casa Pacifica. This is where
you come in, we need to collect socks from classes, count them, and get
them to Casa Pacifica. For more information on Casa Pacifica, our 100's
Day Sock Drive, and other ways that La Mariposa Shares click here. Food DrivesWe
hold several Food Drives to benefit Food Share throughout the year.
Usually one or two in the winter and another one in the spring. We need

year for selected grades. We conduct both vision and hearing testing.
We need volunteers to escort students to and from the screenings.
Picture Day
La
Mariposa has two picture days, one in the Fall and another in the
Spring. We can always use help getting classes to their photo shoots,
on time.
Rotary Track Meet
The
Rotary track Meet is held late Spring every year. Depending on the
year, 5th and sometimes 4th Graders are invited to participate. We need
parent volunteers to help with our preliminary school meet, organize
awards and T-shirts, and assist our Track coaches. All these duties can
be spread out over a group of volunteers. To read about last year's
Rotary Track Meet click here.
