Attention EWMS 8th Graders – Summer Volunteer Opportunity

The Helen Woodward Animal Center is currently accepting applications for Junior Volunteers (age 14 and entering 9th grade in the fall).

“Thanks to Education Volunteers, the Helen Woodward Animal Center helps both people and animals by educating children about pet responsibility. The Junior Volunteer program is both fun and hard work. Volunteers must be mature, dependable, be able to follow directions, work independently, and display introductory leadership and teamwork skills. The most successful volunteers are committed, enthusiastic and experienced with children. Volunteers should have some previous experience working with children and a desire to work with Pre K – 5th grade.”

For more information, visit http://www.animalcenter.org/volunteer.

Welcome to 2013-2014 EWMS Teen Korps!

We are excited to provide the following information:

• Please visit us at Orientation on Thursday, August 15 at EWMS to learn more about Teen Korps and sign up for our email distribution list.
• Save the date! Sign-up will soon be available for two service events in September scheduled for our Chapter:
  • Sunday, Sept 8th – Serving the Seniors
  • Sunday, Sept 22nd – Hand Up Food Pantry
• We need parents to help lead the Chapter.  If you are interested, please contact us.

We look forward to meeting you!

Happy Summer! See you around!

• Will you have free time this summer?  If so, visit the Kids Korps USA project calendar to browse and schedule community service projects! Your Kids Korps membership year extends through the end of August so you still have time to accrue service hours and earn service awards in the fall. Click here for details about entering your service hours and earning awards.

• At our year-end meeting, members were introduced to the incoming EWMS Teen Korps chapter leader, Meredith Manning Youel.  Mrs. Youel and her daughter, Alex, an incoming 7th grader from Solana Santa Fe school, are looking forward to leading the EWMS Teen Korps chapter in the fall and will be in touch at the start of the 2013-2014 EWMS school year.  Look for them at the Teen Korps table at the EWMS back-to-school and orientation events.  Thank you, Mrs. Youel and Alex, for stepping up to lead the EWMS Teen Korps chapter!

• Congratulations and best of luck to our EWMS 8th Grade members!  We know you’ll be a big success in high school and beyond. Keep up the great work!

Lastly, as your Teen Korps chapter leaders for the last two years, we want students and their families to know how much we’ve enjoyed getting to know everyone.  It’s been a real treat working with the students; we’ve been inspired and gratified by their enthusiasm and commitment to serving others.  And we want to pass on our BIG thanks to our parent friends who helped make the EWMS Teen Korps chapter run so smoothly and able to accomplish so much!

Have a great summer, and see you around!
