TWO NEW VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR APRIL

1. Where: Schwegler Elementary School in Lawrence
   What: School Carnival
   Why: Schwegler will be celebrating its 50th year anniversary with a school carnival. Schwegler staff and PTA asked for volunteers to help work the various blow up attractions (slide, obstacle course) and other booths.
   Contact Mr. Lars Leon, Schwegler PTA President, at lleon@ku.edu After you have contacted Mr. Leon, please email SESO Volunteer Coordinator Kylee Wright at boomerang43@juno.com to let her know you're interested in participating.

2. Families Together, Inc.
   This organization provides services to families with children who have special needs. One opportunity they provide is family enrichment weekends. This is where you come in---At these family enrichment weekends, Families Together provides volunteers who act as Companions for each child in attendance with their family. You do not have to provide entertainment because Families Together has set up activities already. You just get to spend time with your student.

   The first family enrichment weekend will be Saturday, April 12th from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Topeka Holidome.

   Contact Volunteer Coordinator Kylee Wright at boomerang43@juno.com if interested.

What if you can't do April 12th and are still interested? Contact Kylee!
