By now you would have received an electronic form to volunteer for school vacuuming.

So far I have received 12. I need at least 60 to fill out the roster over the year. I'm especially interested in finding out which parents from last year are still up for the task this year, as they form the bulk of the roster (and are obviously total LEGENDS for doing so, in my opinion).

If you ask ANY of our experienced school parents, vacuuming is clearly THE most fun voluntary task you will do all year, allowing you to contribute to the school's health and get fit at the same time.

My ultimate aim is to put together 13 teams of five or six people each, which would mean your effort is only needed three times over the whole school year.

Vacuuming is done on a Wednesday night during school term. Each team has a leader whose responsibility is to set a time for cleaning (usually between 6 and 8pm), ensure everyone is available and check that the job is completed.

It is a great opportunity to contribute to the school and foster friendships. So please consider doing your bit and click here to volunteer.

Thanks,
