I Support My School... My Way, VolunteerSpot's back-to-school campaign and Sweepstakes celebrating parent involvement in schools!
We have a two terrific voices today, awesome parent volunteers.
(And a whole lot more over the next few weeks.)
Please meet:
Fred Goodall of MochaDad.com
Fred supports his school by volunteering in the classroom. For him it's a priceless experience:
"Each year, I volunteer for the same thing – Mystery Reader. While reading to a class may not seem like a high-profile volunteer activity, I’ve come to realize that it is an important one.
If you don’t believe me, just ask the frazzled teachers who have thanked me for reading to the class and giving them a few minutes of down time. Or you can ask the students who crowd around my feet and smile with delight as I make funny voices and flail around as I read the book. You can even ask my son who beams with pride as he listens to stories that I’ve read to him scores of times as if he’s never heard them before."
Read more about how Fred supports his school and see how he "treasures these special moments".

Pauline Karwowski of ClassyChaos.com
Pauline is a lunch mom regular!
"Only a handful volunteer opportunities included the words "siblings welcomed" and that's how I found myself eating lunch with my children in the school cafeteria for the last four years."
She's got it going on! "Spending time with my children, interacting with their community and helping out at our school is a winning equation."
Read more about how "siblings welcomed" opened the door for this proud parent's legacy of school service.
