We're looking for two noon supervisors to join our crew! One position is with our 1st and 3rd graders on M, W, F from 10:50 - 12:20. The other is with K, 4, and 2nd graders on M, W, F from 10:30 - 12:45. This a great fill in job for stay at home parents, grandparents, college students with a schedule gap, or YOU! In this job, you go to recess and lunch with students and supervise them for fun and safety. You get to play games, help kids learn to problem solve and open more milk cartons than you thought possible. Laurel in our kitchen will also hook you up with pizza Fridays! Does this sound awesome? You can apply at the link below, or email me for information. We rely on our noon supervisors and would love for you to join our team! [email protected]

Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested!
