Need Volunteers for 2 Biztown Opportunities!!!

Parents, I am need of some volunteers for upcoming Biztown events. But you won't just be volunteering, you will be actively participating and likely having a great time while doing it. Here are the details:

Mock Interviewers needed! First off, before students ever get jobs and long before they go to JA Biztown, they must interview. This is where I need some parents. I need about 15 parent volunteers who are willing to come in for an hour in the morning or for hour around lunchtime and interview 5 or 6 students. I will have the questions and materials all ready for you and the rating scale you can use to rate the students' performances, you just have to show up and visit with the students. It is a great experience and one that the students are nervous about but they realize how great this opportunity is because it will put them a step above their competition when it comes to their real interviews later in life. Here are the times I need volunteers (email me if interested)

8:00-9:00 a.m. on Jan 31st, Feb. 1st

12:10-1:10 p.m. on Jan 31st, Feb. 1st

9:00-9:45 a.m. on Feb. 2nd

10:30-11:15 on Feb. 2nd

JA Biztown Experience Volunteers: Alright, this is the big one and it is first come, first serve. We need 28 parent volunteers to help with our experience days, 14 go each day. You would go on the same day as your child, but work in a different business/store. Your duties would require you to be with us from 8:30-2:00, so you may have to take a half day from work or a full day. You would work in a store with about 5-8 other students who would look to you for information on what their store is supposed to produce. You would know what the store produces because you would attend a 1-hour tutorial session at the JA Biztown site just a week before our trip. So, all in all, we are asking for about 7 hours of total time from you, but the memories of this field trip experience will last a lifetime. Parents really, really have a good time on this trip and enjoy seeing the kids be "adults" for the day, especially their own child. Again, please email or call me if interested. Oh, by the way....the dates of the field trip are April 7th and 8th, 2011.

I will be sending these opportunities through email and through the school weekly update email. Please contact me as soon as possible so that I can start organizing all of this. Thank you and I look forward to working with you!
