Year after year the moms fight over the title of "class mom" only to realize that it is more than they can handle or not as glamorous as it sounds. Last year I suggested that my class mom use the volunteer forms found at
www.signupgenius.com
Of course my class mom was great, but we had more participation from the other parents than we have ever had, and it seems that we seldom heard the excuse "I forgot" We always had plenty of volunteers, tissues, glue sticks, snacks and juice boxes. I even think that some of the other teachers were jealous - LOL
As the new school year roll around, I am including the link in all my paperwork to ensure that everyone knows to expect emails and reminders from our class mom using sign up genius.
I am going to present it to other teachers and hopefully their class moms will be agreeable to organizing the classroom activities in a super manner!
Please let me know what you think. I would like to know if you find it as helpful as I do.
