Become Involved...Your Child Will Benefit!

Hear Ye Hear Ye: Parent Volunteers Needed in Hosmer School Library



Parents can volunteer during their children’s classes and would be able to see what the children checkout. In addition to checkout/checkin responsibilities, volunteers will shelve books and complete various library projects to make our library a better place.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me at: kschwartz@watertown.k12.ma.us

What an opportunity! Why do it?

The research overwhelmingly demonstrates that parent involvement in children's learning is positively related to achievement.

This holds true for all types of parent involvement in children's learning and for all types and ages of students.children perform better in school when parents get involved in their education, and volunteering is a great way to get involved.
