Garfield Counselor, Daniel Lee, is busy preparing for Senior Awards Night which will be held on Thursday, June 6^th at 6 pm.  It’s a large event celebrating the accomplishments of our graduating seniors and he is looking for some volunteer help.   Assistance is needed in advance and on the day of the event.

Communications/Program: Assist with mailing letters to students and parents, and organize student information in the program.  1-2 volunteers needed ASAP

Food:  The counseling office will be ordering the main food, but assistance is needed in getting the lighter food such as fruit, sheet cakes and drinks.  2-3 volunteers

Decorating/Set-up:  Assist with layout of stage on the day of the event.  1-2 volunteers.

Flowers:  Assist in procuring and arranaging flowers.  1-2 volunteers

Event Help:  Help with ushering and handing out certificates on the night of the event.  2-3 volunteers.

On Tuesday, May 28^th, Jerry Neufeld-Kaiser and Sophia Lelevich will be taking their World History classes to the UW Libraries for a research day.  This is a great opportunity for the kids to see a college campus in action.  The day will start with a brief tour and then they will do research.   In past years the exposure to rigorous university library resources has dramatically improved the students’ scholarship.

About 12-15 chaperones are needed to accompany about 150 kids.  Chaperones will assemble at Garfield just before 8:00 am to take a group on the bus to the UW, keep a watchful eye on the kids during the day while being available to students as needed, and then return via bus to Garfield about 2:30 pm.

Parents and family members are invited to be chaperones.  If you have questions or are willing to volunteer, please contact Jerry Neufeld-Kaiser at gmneufeldkai@seattleschools.org or 206-446-6871.  Thank you.
