The PTO is hosting an Our Shared Forest (OSF) Family Science Night February 18th from 6 to 7:30 at Chase Street Elementary, but to put the P in the PTO part, we need you to volunteer to help run this event. OSF is a standards-based, multi-cultural, environmental education project about the importance of conserving existing habitat and reestablishing fragmented habitats of neotropical migratory birds in North and South America. Our Shared Forests connects local education to global conservation! The event will feature fun, hands-on science activities, live insects and snakes from the University of Georgia and a coffee tasting of 1000 Faces Coffee (available at our school as a PTO fundraiser).
I need people to help make copies, pick-up supplies, set-up and clean-up, decorate the gym, perform a puppet show (puppets and script provided), make desserts, serve desserts, and just generally help as needed. We would like to have enough volunteers so that families can work in shifts and then spend the other half of the night enjoying science night with their family.
You can look over the puppet show and the activities here: http://www.uga.edu/botgarden/pdfs/OSFsciencenightmanual.pdf
If you’d like to volunteer contact me at stacynelliott@gmail.com or 706-424-1310. THANK YOU!
