We are looking forward to another great year at Bak MSOA!  I hope everyone has is enjoying their summer! My name is Debbie Klopp, and this will be my 6th year as volunteer coordinator for the school. I have a 10th and an 11th grader who both attended Bak MSOA, and I have a  7th grader at Bak this year as well!  Over the course of the school year, I will be populating this website with all the different events we have going on, and the types of volunteer help that we need. When you see something you might be interested in helping with, just drop me an email and we can set it up!
  I would like to encourage all of you to come into the school any time  and fill out a volunteer registration form. The district requires that everyone fill out a new one every year. SSN and DOB are a MUST on these forms, so please do not leave that information out!
  Our school recommends (this is  NOTa requirement) that each family put in a minimum of 20 volunteer hours over the course of the school year.  This is mainly for your benefit - it lets you get to know the campus, the teachers, and the students themselves. Plus, it's a lot of fun! We have a monthly newsletter, several dances, lots of field trips, clerical needs in the front office, ticket/merchandise sales during lunch hours, weekend workdays, and many other opportunities available to suit every schedule. We also try to match volunteers to indivdual teachers at the beginning of the year whenever possible so that we can accommodate the teachers and volunteers as well!  
   We also need volunteers for the EG2 art gallery in City Place. This gallery displays our visual art students' artwork, as well as artwork from Dreyfoos and other schools throughout the district from time to time. It is usually open from 4-8 from Wed-Sun and is A LOT of fun to work in! We have several 'openings' throughout the year when new works are displayed, and out volunteers typically coordinate the openings as well. If you are interested in the gallery and would like to work there for a day or 2, please email Lea Jefferson at curatorlea@yahoo.com. Be sure to give her your name and phone number so that she  can all you!
  As you can see, we always have LOTS going on at Bak MSOA, and it is truly our wonderful parents who help us to do all the extra things we do! Your kids will have a wonderful experience here. My older kids still talk about the trips they
took, the great dances, and the fun projects they did.
    Please  log all of your volunteer hours on the  volunteer computer in the front office. We get credit for every hour you donate! We always try for the Five Star School Award, the Gold School Award, and the Silver School Award, and we always win them! Help us keep it up!
   This website and our volunteer email network are the vehicles we use to let you know all of the volunteer opportunities and events at our school.  I try to update the site at least once a month, and you will find the links to the right to be very helpful. I also try to include information that you might not get from your child (unless you want to dig through backpacks) like picture days, progress report dates, etc. Don't forget edline as another source of information!
