Dear Parents,

The Wellness committee is getting ready to launch our lunchtime football program. We need a small crew of parent volunteers on hand to coach what will be a very large group of senior students. Our goal over the past two years has been to get more kids active during the lunch hour. We would love to have some new coaches so that we can give each child the attention that he or she deserves and keep the games running smoothly.

If you would like to help out and are free Thursdays at lunch, you can pick up a volunteer sign-up kit at the office. It usually takes about two weeks for parent volunteers to be cleared so please file the paperwork as soon as possible. You do not need to be a sports expert to come and help out. The only prerequisite is patience, a sense of humor and a love of children. Everything else can be learned on the job!

It is especially important that we get new parents involved now with the Wellness Program so that it will continue to run smoothly next year when a number of our committee members will be leaving the Stevenson community. While we have traditionally run touch football and softball as our main sports, new ideas are always welcome and probably necessary at this point.

If you have any questions, you can contact  LeeAnne Matusek : (213) 247-5893
