Room Parent Recruitment

"We found in our school of Terreton Elementary/Jr. High in Terreton, Idaho, it was getting more and more difficult to get mothers to commit to being a room parent for the entire year. We came up with an idea that has worked great for everyone involved.  We have the room parents sign up for their choice of holiday. This gives them a chance to sign up for numerous classes allowing them to get to know more teachers and help more of their students.  Many of our room parents use the same game ideas for each class by just tweaking them to incorporate the different holiday. This has been a huge success. Teachers, parents, and students love having the variety of people to work with."
