N.E.S.T. (Nurturing Eagles Support Team) Update …
Christmas Craft is back again this year on Friday, December 15th. This is a popular fun Christmas activity for our students to make crafts for their family members. If you are interested in “hosting” a craft station for students, please contact one of our two NEST (Nurturing Eagle Support Team) coordinators for the event: Amy King or Sara Maas. Amy’s email is: kingamy219@yahoo.com. Call the school office to get her phone number. Anyone who is interested in helping with the event will need to contact the school office to have a background check completed.
Once you pick a craft out for the children to do, a sample of the craft will need to be turned in to the school office for us to put in the “showcase.” Once our showcase is filled with craft samples, our students really begin to get excited about participating in Christmas Craft Day. Crafts need to be very simple, as students grades Preschool – 8th grade will be choosing from these. We ask that the Christmas Craft “host” have enough materials and supplies for approximately 80 students to complete the craft.
There are other opportunities to help out if you are not able to “host” a craft. We like to provide our adult helpers a lunch for volunteering their time. Maybe you would like to provide a potluck food entree for our craft “hosts’. We are also looking for additional volunteers to help run the cash register or assist students, especially younger ones, in creating the crafts. Some hosts may also need a donation of supplies, so even if you cannot help that day be in touch with Amy to see what kind of supplies will be helpful to have on hand.
Our next NEST meeting will be Monday, November 20th at 4 pm in the Lady Lounge.
