Looking for a way to volunteer or get involved with our school? We would like to start virtual after school clubs for our students in January and we need your help! The clubs would give the children an opportunity to socialize and te another. The best way to do this is through small groups so we need more adults to assist. If you can give 30 minutes to an hour once a week the children would greatly appreciate your time. The students completed a survey and are interested in having the following types of clubs: arts & crafts, music, American Sign Language, Anime, Workout club, Science and STEM, Cooking & Baking, foreign languages, dance- drama- theater, video gaming.
We need you, your high school or college student to choose an activity that you would be willing to sponsor. The activities can be based on hobbies, culture, health, games, common interests. We are open to your ideas too! We will be responsible for getting students signed up for available club opportunities, setting up the virtual environment and providing training on how to use it. Please contact Theresa Johnson at ttmjohnson@fcps.edu to sign up and she will provide more information. Thank you for volunteering to support the Woodley Hills Family!
