Remote Volunteering The volunteers weren’t on campus, but they were still busy. Parents staffed more than 25 volunteer committees, completely reimagining how to execute traditional volunteer duties with new solutions.
LOST & FOUND The lost & found closet, a heap of abandoned sweatshirts, water bottles, shoes, and athletic gear, was transplanted to homes of volunteers. Lost & Found committee volunteers organized, labeled, and identified each item on an interactive spreadsheet where parents could claim their children’s belongings. Once claimed, the item labeled by number was delivered to the student’s classroom. Left: Keegan Thompson sorts and folds lost Preschool items in her dining room.
COMMUNITY CLOSET Instead of periodic popup sales for gently used uniforms on campus, the Community Closet became a virtual operation. Shoppers submitted order forms, which were collected and fulfilled by volunteers like Tami Wall, pictured here with her daughter, kindergartener Julianna Wall.
GRANDPARENTS & SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY In lieu of Grandparents & Special Friends Day, students created an individualized gift such as a poem, painting, or heartfelt note for their grandparents. Volunteers collected, packaged, addressed, and mailed the items to the grandparents and special friends listed for each student. Far left: Michelle Hsia; Left: Alex Heins 24
