Its the time of year where we start planning to host our annual holiday party at Sam Rosen Elementary in Fort Worth and Webb Elementary in Arlington.

Year after year our Volunteers have a great time sharing the spirit of the season with two great groups of kids.

Here’s the schedule:

Dec 8 (morning) Party Prep at Sam Rosen

Dec 9 (all day) Party at Sam Rosen

Dec 15 (morning) Party Prep at Webb

Dec 16 (all day) Party at Webb

Natalie Parish is the volunteer coordinator for Sam Rosen

Vince Heimann is organizing workers for Webb.

Even though the parties last all day, you are welcome to work only part of the day if that is what you can do. In addition to volunteers, we collect donations to support the cost of the party.

All volunteers must be approved in advance by the district. Click here for a copy of the Arlington ISD volunteer form Please fill out the form, attach a copy of your ID and forward it to Vince, his fax number is 817-273-5913.

The Fort Worth ISD volunteer form is one page, be sure to copy your I.D. on to the form and fax to Raymond at 817-882-0136.

If you were a volunteer at Webb last year, we ARE able to use last year’s background form provided your name has not changed and your I.D. is still valid.

The deadline to submit the background form is November 20th. If you are recruiting volunteers from your credit union, you may also want to plan in advance for substitute volunteers by having them fill out the form as well.
