G.I.V.E
Get Involved, Volunteer in Education
 
Grapeland Elementary School and the Get Involved, Volunteer in Education (G.I.V.E.) Organization would like to invite you to volunteer at the school.  It is a great way to show the children of our community that we take an interest in their education and that we consider the students of Grapeland a worthwhile cause.  Parents and community members offer huge resources and a support base for the school community while showing the students the importance of participating in the larger community.  We also would like to reach out to our senior citizens as volunteers.  The teaming of senior citizens and children has proven to be a natural and effective combination, as well. 

We need dedicated assistance at a time when there is pressure to boost low-achieving students' performance.  Volunteers dispense levels of love that many of the children crave.  The G.I.V.E. program servers so many needs and generates so much good feelings that Grapeland Elementary School would like to see it grow.  Many of our community members have a wealth of experience to pass on to children.

Here are ways in which you can G.I.V.E.

  • Act as a classroom helper
  • Mentor or tutor students
  • Help children with special needs
  • Attend school board meetings
  • Help out with visual arts and crafts
  • Laminate and run papers for teachers
  • Speak in the classroom or at a career day in your field of experience
  • Read to a child
  • Help a child with their math facts

If you feel you would like to G.I.V.E. of your time and efforts to a student at Grapeland Elementary School, please contact the school office and speak with our Practical Parenting Educator and Volunteer Coordinator Jeanna Wardell at 687 2317.
