Remington CommitteesBOOK FAIROrganize the book fair which takes place in May during the week of May Mosaic. Volunteers are needed to set up, oversee book sales, and assist in closing out the event. BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION Sponsored by General Mills, Remington uses this program to earn money by redeeming "Box Tops for Education" labels from General Mills products. Volunteers cut, sort, and count them. Box Tops can be dropped off in a baskt located in the Remington lobby. Visit www.boxtops4education.com for additional ways to save. CLOTHING/SPIRIT WEAR Volunteers needed to collect and tally clothing orders and payment (usually twice a year). Order forms will be sent home with students. Volunteers also sort and distribute clothing upon arrival of orders. New ideas for encouraging Remington spirit are always welcome! COMMUNITY SERVICE Assist teachers and students with occasional community service projects. Prepare posters and flyers explaining events. Oversee annual February Food Drive to benefit Franklin Food Pantry (in conjunction with district-wide PCC's.) We encourage monthly community service projects. CULTURAL ENRICHMENT Work with members of the Remington staff and district-wide PCC's to review and coordinate cultural and enrichment programs for students throughout the year. Volunteers may be needed to assist on the day of a performance. Typical events at the school include assemblies and performances from professional groups. EIGHTH GRADE CELEBRATION Plan the celebration held at the end of the school year in honor of the 8th grade class. Committee members assist in the arrangements for food, beverages, decorations, and student and school gifts. Volunteers are needed to set up, chaperone, serve, and clean up. Events include a picnic/field day at King Street Park, 8th grade social/dance, and culminate with an awards breakfast. FUNDRAISING Remington typically holds two fundraising events during the school year, one in the fall and one in the spring. This year the fall fundraiser will be our second annual Magazine Drive through QSP/Reader's Digest. This was a very successful event for us last year. A raffle or silent auction may take place during May Mosaic in the spring. |
