Hootenanny

This is an hour long party for Kindergarten students.  There is wacky dancing, bandana decorating and a light snack. Check our calendar for the current school year's event date.

A chairperson is needed to coordinate activities and manage volunteers.  Make sure volunteers understand their roles.

• • Volunteer Needs: 

    • • 2 Volunteers are needed on Gym Duty at the beginning of the event before the music starts (~15 minutes) 

        • No running

        • Consider some organized games

      • 2 Volunteers are needed to make sure kids are safe while dancing

      • 2 Volunteers are needed in the halls to make sure kids do not go upstairs or toward the outside doors.

      • 2 Volunteers are needed at the snack table (pretzel sticks and water. Generally, 15 bags of pretzel stick have been sufficient).

        • Monitor doors to make sure no snacks are taken into the gym

      • 1 Volunteer needed to do Tattoos

      • 1 - 2 Volunteers needed at the Bandana table

  • Volunteers should all wear a Hootenanny Bandana or some other distinguishing item, to make them visible to the students and parents.

  • Purchase pretzels and cups, and arrange for water coolers.

  • Make sure the snack table has sufficient supplies.  Use cups to hold pretzels - not just napkins.

  • Dancing is somewhat structured, alternating PE songs / dances with other songs.  The PE teacher directs the dancing. 

This is a Drop Off event. Only parents who have assigned volunteer roles should attend! This is a free event sponsored by the PTO and is for Barnsdale Road Kindergarten students only (no siblings).
