Service Project

Hello Parents - 

The 5th Grade Activities Team is kicking off the new year by participating in a service project with Food Lifeline of Shoreline. 

We are looking for 84 energetic 5th Graders (siblings and friends) along with 16 adult chaperons to sort and pack food that will be redirected to more than 275 after-school programs, food banks and pantries, hot meal programs and shelters in King County. 

Your children will have a hands-on experience making this happen. 

The sort and pack takes place on Saturday January 30 at Food Lifeline [1702 NE 150th Street, Shoreline WA 98155-7226 Phone: 1-877-404-7543]. In order to accommodate as many schedules as possible, we've set up a morning session [9 - 12 PM] and an afternoon session [1 PM - 4 PM].

A link below will lead you to the sign up page. You must sign up in advance for this activity [deadline 1/22]. You must provide a parent consent form.

We need parent help for the following:

1) Classroom Ambassadors: Would your child like to help get other classmates involved in this event? We need motivated kids to work in the classroom generating some positive energy around this activity by reminding kids to sign up for the Sort & Pack (with a parents help).  Teachers have been told this activity will take place. We have a few Ambassadors already, so please email Jeannette Chen with your child's Name & Homeroom Teacher [chirishtribe@gmail.com]

2) Sign up your child, and yourself [if you wish to chaperon] for a slot in either the morning or afternoon session.

1. Create a volunteer profile [takes 5 minutes].
   
2.  Download and fill out the Parent Consent Form also located at the bottom of the link. PRINT CONSENT FORM FOR DAY OF EVENT. 
   
3. Include siblings OVER 6 YEARS to join.
   
4. DEADLINE FOR SIGN UP IS 1/22.  
   

To make this work smoothly, we are looking for 84 kids to participate in the Sort & Pack with 16 chaperons required [ 8 each session]. There are 182 5th Graders at Cascadia.

Finally, this is the first time we are running this type of activity, please let us know if you have questions or any trouble signing up!

 Thank You from the 5th Grade Activities Team -- Jeannette Chen, Mimi Mar, Allison Bianchi
