Volunteer Opportunities

Lunch/Recess Monitor – responsibilities (and joys!) include helping little ones open their milk cartons and other food packages; listening to tales of their mornings’ classes; and getting to know your child’s friends a little better. After lunch, you get to take the children out to the playground where you may get to swing a jump rope, play four-square, push children on the swings or watch a great game of hopscotch. Please consider donating just 45 minutes of your day to this very important time for the children. You may even want to call a friend to join you in this fun each week. You’ll truly be glad you did. Call the office and let them know which day would be best for you each week!

Hot Lunch Server – Optional hot lunches are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays as long as there are volunteer parents to serve the food. This takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. To volunteer for this service, please call the office and let them know which day is best for you.

Teacher Appreciation Committee – Once a month throughout the school year this committee plans and implements a different blessing for our hardworking teachers to let them know how much we appreciate them. These blessings may be a basket of fresh baked muffins delivered to each teacher; a hot take-home meal on those especially long Parent/Teacher Conference days; a gourmet luncheon for all teachers to enjoy together; or an enjoyable Christmastime dinner at a local restaurant. The members of this committee participate by sending in food items for a meal or by donating their time in serving a luncheon. Members of this committee have developed close friendships with one another through serving together as well as have gotten to know their children’s teachers a little better outside the classroom setting. Don’t deprive yourself of the blessing of being a blessing to our wonderful teachers! Call the school office to volunteer for this very worthwhile work.

Parent Coaches Needed for Basketball, Running Club, Soccer, and Volleyball – A basic knowledge of the game as well as basic skills are helpful. Training will be provided. If you are interested, please contact our Athletic Director, Louise Shaw at louise.shaw@talloaksclassicalschool.org.

Open House Helper – Each month during the school year an Open House is held to showcase the uniqueness of a Classical Christian education. Helpers are needed: 1) to set up and clean up refreshment tables and information tables 2) to put together information packets (may be done at home) 3) to take the guests on tours of our classrooms and building and to answer questions about the school and the Classical Christian education method.

Special Event Set Up – Several major events take place throughout the school year which require volunteer helpers to set up, clean up and possibly even help take care of some details depending on the event. If you are unable to serve on a regular basis in other capacities due to work or family schedules, you may want to consider serving Tall Oaks in this occasional way.

Bible Memory – Every Monday morning our 1st through 6th graders require an adult to listen to their Bible memory assignment. Bible memory is the first thing that happens on a Monday morning and is therefore easily done shortly after dropping your child off at school. What a blessing it is to the teachers and students to have dedicated parents listen and encourage the children as they weekly hide God’s Word in their hearts! Call the office to volunteer!

Friday Office Help – Each Friday afternoon, the students at Tall Oaks receive the week’s graded assignments as well as any other pertinent communications from the Administration via a Friday Packet. The office staff justly need help to get all the packets organized and prepped to be sent home with each student. If you have an hour or two available each Friday, please call the office to volunteer your services. The office staff would SO appreciate your help.

General Fix-up Person – From time to time a person is needed to make general repairs or improvements to our classrooms or equipment. If you are gifted in this way, please let the office know so that they can call on your help when a need arises.
