ART DOCENT CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

Ella Baker has a kiln and a related art program.  Each classroom gets to create a project from clay, and we need volunteers (whom we call Art Docents) to assist the students with these projects.  Art docents are also responsible for assisting the teachers with Deep Space Sparkle (DSS) art projects, as well as prepping and cleaning up after projects.

No art experience needed—attend a short 1–2 hour training, then help with two clay sessions (about 90 minutes each) and 6 DSS projects. Scheduling is flexible, and it’s a fun way to connect with students!

STEAM DOCENT CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

Ella Baker PTSA is bringing hands-on STEAM projects to Grades 1–3—like programming little robots and more! We need volunteers to help guide students during these activities.

No experience needed—all lessons and training will be provided this fall.
