recording studio (with the possibility of learning how to use recording equipment)

Request from ICE Senior Lisle Jamieson

/

Dear ICE family,

ICE senior Lisle Jamieson has a survey--An Investigation of Partisan Activity-- that he needs to be completed by as many adults residing in the United States as possible. He asks that you please complete his survey, but more importantly, please spread this to friends and family and your social media network (and encourage them to do the same). Let's make this thing viral!

You can find the survey here.

Lisle and I thank you!

-JD

Here are a couple of projects/events for you to consider:

TOWN MEETING SCRIBE — Wednesdays at 10:05am - 11:39am (4 volunteers)

  • Several parents take turn attending Town Meeting.

It’s fun and gives you insight into the life of the school, not just your own kid’s class, which means it’s particularly nice if you have an uncommunicative kid. (Which is, y’know, MOST kids.) You can see musical performance, acting, guest speakers. The job involves attending Town Meeting and taking notes, then inputting them into a MailChimp template — not hard, I’ll show them how.  
 
PICTURE DAY FUNDRAISER (Grades 6-11) – Friday, October 25th, 2019 8:00am - 3:00pm

Choose the shift that best fits your schedule:

  • Afternoon Shift (3 volunteers) - 12:30pm - 3:00pm

  • All Day Shift — 8:00am - 3:00pm

To volunteer visit the ICE Community Volunteers page on the school website located under the Parent Life tab then sign-up using the ICE Community Volunteers Form.
