• What is your role/title at the school you volunteer with? I’m the PTO President at Glacier Peak High School.
• How long have you been volunteering in Snohomish School District schools and what got you started with volunteering? I've been volunteering for almost 16 years. My daughter had a hard time when she was little (5 yrs). I reached out to the elementary school to see if I could be of help in the classroom and they did. I was able to I was able to be in her classroom and help the teacher. This puts my daughter ease. She still asks me if I will be helping at her school.
• Do you have any students/children in the district? I do, Freshman this year.
• What kinds of activities or responsibilities do you take on during your time volunteering in school/ What does your time volunteering in the school typically look like? This is my first year with GP. I started as a secretary taking notes for the meetings, helping with the start of the school year with our booth passing out flyers and meeting new families. From there I became president during the flooding in Snohomish. I organized a clothing drive for families in need; we filled a storage unit and had to move to a church because we collected so much in 3 hours. I ran the drive for families to come collect clothes, shoes, toiletries and more. This drive lasted 2 months and we had so many volunteers help that made it all possible. My current duties are running the monthly meeting, preparing the agenda, 1 hour a month, planning upcoming fundraisers, helping with teacher appreciation lunch as well as conference week lunch for the teachers. This year we did a snack cart for the teacher to show our appreciation. I check the PO BOX, review scholarship applicants, do Costco runs and deliveries, and run the social media or all events and updates. I generally spend about 16 hours a month with our team.
• What’s your favorite thing about volunteering in the school? I love getting to interact with the staff and students, that has been my favorite so far.
Thank you, Jodi, for all that you do!
