Description of Programs
Kindergarten Screening
This is a big event that lasts for several days. Incoming kindergarten students are assessed in various ways to get ready for the new school year. Volunteers may be needed to greet and direct students and parents, sit with students at an activity table if there is any downtime and answer any questions about the PTA.
1st Day Meet & Greet
Mr. Antonelli hosts a special event with iced tea and baked goods the morning of the first day of school in the dining room. It’s a time to connect and be reassured. Volunteers are needed to gather supplies, help decorate and set up the tables with tea and treats. Bakers are also needed for this event.
Picture Day
Volunteers are needed to help with order forms and to assist students, guiding them through the photo taking process, checking for out of place hair and helping students to be comfortable.
Book Fair
This is a big event where students get to go shopping for books in the fitness room during the school day, and can bring their family to come to school on an evening as well. Volunteers are needed to coordinate the event and to help set up and tear down the fair. Volunteers will also be needed to help direct students, answer questions and assist with the purchase of books.
Trunk or Treat
This is a new event for the PTA
Taste the Rainbow
Students visit the fitness room to sample a rainbow array of fruits and vegetables that they may have never seen or tried. It’s a super fun and silly event. Volunteers are needed to chop and prep produce and to also help during the event.
Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week
This is a week long event culminating with a big luncheon at the end of the week. This is our way of thanking the wonderful faculty and staff we have at Sidway. Volunteers needed to help set up daily goodies, coordinate and plan the luncheon and set up on the day of the luncheon. Bakers may also be needed.
PARP/Author Visit
“Pick a Reading Partner”! This week long program has daily activities planned for the students during their school day, culminating at the end of the program with an Author Visit. Volunteers are needed to help coordinate, create and gather materials and help with the Author Visit.
Ice Cream Social
This is a big event held in conjunction with the school-wide Art Show as well as musical performances by students. Volunteers are needed to coordinate ice cream sales, collect order forms, count money, set up the tables, scoop ice cream and help man the assembly line.
Seed Cup Project
Each class is given soil, cups and seeds to plant. Volunteers are needed to purchase and put these little classroom kits together.
Kindergarten Orientation
Incoming kindergarten students get to experience the classroom setting for the first time while parents sit in the gym and listen to what to expect throughout that first year. Volunteers are needed to help prepare folders, answer questions about the PTA, sell spirit shirts and collect memberships.
Field Day & Picnic
This is an end of the year celebration for our students! Volunteers are needed to organize t-shirts, refreshments and games. This event is held at Sidway (first grade) and at Beaver Island (kindergarten) on the same day.
