Volunteers are needed throughout the year to help Lower School Librarian Lindsey Loop with restocking books, preparing displays and decorations, and preparing and shelving new books. Volunteers will sign up for shifts to work in the library that will be coordinated by the committee chairs. Volunteers are needed on a weekly basis to help.

 

Coordinated by the committee chairs, volunteers will sign up for shifts to work in the library.

 

Throughout the year, used uniforms and spirit items in good condition are collected and sold at our Newman Resale Shop. This is a great fundraiser, truly a “green” program, and an excellent opportunity to meet parents. Volunteers organize and run the sales that occur throughout the year. Volunteers help get all the merchandise ready for the sale. 

We invite one room parent to represent each classroom in Green Trees and Lower School and two room parents per grade in the Middle and Upper School. The parent serves throughout the year as a liaison to the NPA, helps arrange events, helps teachers, and encourages parents to get involved. Lower School Room Parents help with Special Friends Day, field trips and provide volunteers for classroom support when requested. The largest duties for Middle School Room Parents surround class trips. Senior Room Parents help with commencement when their child is in their junior year and their responsibilities extend throughout their child’s senior year. 

Special Friends Day is a significant event during which family members and friends of lower school students are invited to campus. Volunteers are needed to help with logistics, planning, photography, set up, and welcoming visitors throughout the morning.

Volunteers work closely with the debate coaches and specifically help with many aspects of the Newman Invitational Tournament which is held in December (i.e. volunteers, hospitality, etc.).
