| The idea is for parents to contact
us when someone working with their child has gone above and beyond so
we can send them a token of appreciation from Open Doors -- a really
nice certificate that says "We've Heard You're Wonderful!" or a pin or
button or something. Think outside the box! Make it something cool.
Organizers: We need 'em. Contact Info: Volunteer Helpers: That means you. We need people to design the item, figure out how we're
going to fund the project, produce the item, and
handle mailing them out. Requirements: It has to be very pretty or cool or meaningful, but also appeal to women and men, inexpensive, easily replicated, and easily shipped. We can ask parents to pay the cost of the item and shipping. |
| This is like a portable awards
ceremony. We are going to collect thank you letters from parents
to educators who have made a difference in their child's life. We
are going to bind them into a book and give a book to each featured
person and their school at the end of the school year. Parents
will benefit by seeing all the folks that are working hard to help our
kids. Educators will feel appreciated, even the ones who aren't
in the book -- and they can see what other educators are doing.
Organizers: We need 'em. Contact Info: Volunteer Helpers: That means you. We need people to handle the letter collection process,
to figure out how we're going to fund this, to figure out how to make
the book, to make the letters printable, to make the books, and to
distribute the books. Requirements: It has to be very pretty or cool or meaningful, but also appeal to women and men, relatively inexpensive, and easily shipped. We can ask parents to pay the cost of the item and shipping. |
