Parent Volunteers Needed to Teach Mini Electives - May 11

On May 11 from 9:30 to 11:30, Lincoln K-8 graders will be doing mini electives for Project Family. We are in need of parents who can teach 30 minute sessions (1, 2, 3 or all 4) on a topic of your choice. Kids will travel in groups of 5-6. Each group will have kids from primary, middle, intermediate and uppers. Mini electives can have 1-4 groups of students, so 5-24 students depending on what the leader wants. The more mini electives we offer, the smaller the classes can be. So, are you interested? Can you help us? What do you love to do? Share that with kids!

Please let Linnea Archer at liarcher@rochester.k12.mn.us know by April 27 if you can help us out. E-mail her the class you will be leading, how many kids you want, and any special things you might need to do this. Remember classes are mixed ages.

Project Family: Where did this idea come from? Student Government noticed that the big and little buddies had great relationships, but often there seemed to be a pecking order on the playground between grade levels. Student Government recognized that when we had relationships with people, we tended to respect them and their ideas more. So, we planned Project Family: a day to build community at Lincoln.
