Welcome to Day THREE of
I Support My School... My Way, VolunteerSpot's back-to-school campaign and Sweepstakes celebrating parent involvement in schools!
We have three fabulous conversations featured today.
(And a whole lot more over the next few weeks.)
Please meet:
Danielle of ExtraordinaryMommy.com
Danielle has 2 kids who are just this year in full-time school. And while she's a busy mom who travels and works in journalism she finds time to simply BE in her kids' school.
And while she loves the idea of being a super volunteer, helping out her school in all sorts of ways, read more about how she feels RIGHT now: "Quite honestly, I don’t want to be in charge. I just want to be there."
A lot of moms can relate. And it's true about younger kids simply being happy that mom is in the building.
She has this to say about volunteering HER way: "...my reward is a giggle, a smile and a wave. Maybe even a point and a whisper, “that’s my mommy”. They are still at an age when it is cool to see ’Mommy’ at the school."
Follow Danielle on Twitter @DanielleSmithTV.

Angie of SevenClownCircus.com
Angie is a mother 5 children. And this year is the first year they are ALL in school. What does a mother of 5 do when all the kids go back to school?
She heads back with them of course!
Read how she... "illustrate(s) ways in which regular old moms like me take advantage of opportunities to interact with their children at school and hopefully enhance the programs that they are in with extra manpower."

Julie of Leelou-Blogs.com
Julie just had a BABY! She is the proud mama of 4 kids under the age of 6!
How does a mom with a newborn support her school? Well this one happens to be a graphic designer and creates FREE Teacher Appreciation Printables that you can click over and download!
Read about how she also supports her husband (who IS a teacher) and how hard it is for her to give him up after summer. "...having him home for 3 whole months and then all of a sudden he's back to work 5 days a week is pure torture! Torture I say!"
