School Volunteering

RJT, Etiwanda, D15N

To kick off Etiwanda and Rancho High School's last full week of summer break, we held a week-long event full of service at Etiwanda Intermediate School. This particular event was held from July 29th to August 2nd. On Monday and Tuesday, we assisted the Vice Principal with sorting PBIS binders for classrooms, ensuring that each classroom had the right number of papers. We also helped sort safety folders and made goodie boxes with supplies for teachers! Each goodie box contained 36 popsicle sticks, a notepad, a tin of Tic-Tacs, a huge paperclip, a Sharpie, and a pack of tissues. This was to guarantee that teachers also had the provided supplies for the next school year. On Wednesday and Friday, we helped teachers decorate their classrooms for the upcoming school year. Our volunteers went from door to door, assisting any teacher who needed extra help. We filed assignments, hung up, put together fun decorations, put textbooks onto the shelves, and brought the teachers extra supplies. We put together goodie bags for students, cleaned off desks, and put new number stickers on calculators and for desk groups. Our volunteers left each day feeling accomplished for doing everything they could to help the staff be prepared for the next school year. It’s safe to say that this was the perfect way to end the last full week of summer break, and we look forward to future service opportunities during the school year.
