We often publish donation requests for local organizations helping schools and their students. This time, the reques is for volunteer help. Here’s the announcement sent to us to share with you:
Friends of Roxhill Elementary and Roxhill Elementary School at E.C. Hughes are seeking community support for some key volunteer needs. Email FriendsOrRoxhill@gmail.com to learn more or sign up.
Weekly food box delivery: Staff from Neighborcare Health‘s clinic at Roxhill Elementary are looking for help with weekly delivery of food boxes from the West Seattle Food Bank. Volunteers would pick up and deliver the boxes in their own vehicle any time 10 am – 2 pm on Thursday or 10am – 12pm on Friday.
Read with a Roxstar! Roxhill students love practicing their reading with adults. We’re seeking anyone interested in spending 15 minutes with a student once a week to listen to them read. Timing is flexible, though it’s easiest to schedule at the start of the school day (8 – 8:15am). Volunteers must be approved by Seattle Public Schools.
Seeking gardening gurus: Did you know Roxhill has a beautiful garden? Our school has very little greenspace, and so a well-maintained garden provides the only green enriching learning space for our students. We’re seeking community members interested in helping plant, water, weed, and otherwise maintain the garden year-round (including the summer!). SPS-approved volunteers may also be able to participate in the garden club that meets once a week after school.
If you can’t volunteer, they’re also looking for donations of items on this wishlist.
