Current Volunteer Needs:

Are you a junior parent? We are looking for 4 parents who are willing to help with senior event planning this year. As junior parent reps, you would attend the parent meeting on October 8th for senior parents and spend the rest of the year learning what is involved with organizing senior events to help kickoff the effort NEXT year. Ideally, the reps would organize a social event/fundraiser to kick start fundraising prior to senior year that FOI would keep in savings. Keep senior events going by volunteering now!

Are you often on Facebook? Be a Facebook Moderator. We could use an few additional admin to help keep an eye on posts, delete spam and occasionally post or answer questions.

Hospitality Opportunities

Newcomer Event November 21 We are looking for 2 or 3 parents who can help get food and bring it to school. This is a new event we are supporting as staff members create a space for families who are very new to SPS and need extra support.

Join the Friends of Ingraham Board

The current FOI Board has a significant number of board members with their last/only child graduating from Ingraham. We’ve all been working hard to create great programs and want to keep all the good things going! If you have time and can be a parent leader…. WE NEED YOU!!! We will be needing: President, VP, Secretary, Treasurer, Communications, Fundraising, Bright Futures Chair and more.

See our “featured board position” to learn how to gradually step into a position, learn what is involved and the time commitment, and how to start now. By starting the transition now, you get to learn from an experienced volunteer instead of having to try to start from zero next year. Ideally we have key positions filled by January 2025 so that we have a 6 month transition.

*******FEATURED BOARD POSITION***********

Communications Director and Supporting Roles

The FOI communications director works with every board member to promote events, share information and hype FOI and all the amazing work we do. If you like knowing what’s going on and sharing that information with others, this is a great position for you. You can work from home as needed. It’s extremely helpful to be able to attend most of the FOI board meetings. The most time consuming work is editing the newsletter each month. Depending on familiarity with the tools, this is a 5 hour a week commitment (some weeks less and maybe more right before the newsletter goes out)

We need someone who is willing to create a monthly newsletter, edit the website and help create posts for Instagram/Facebook. We use squarespace, constant contact and canva as our communication tools. Each of these tools is easy to learn if you aren’t familiar with them. If being in charge of it all is too much, pick one area and support our current and future communications director by supporting one thing exclusively:

• website manager: edit existing website as needed using squarespace. Our website was redesgined in 2023 and now only needs edits.

• Instagram creator: create fun graphic images in Canva and post to Instagram. If you want to help us make short videos/reels/tiktoks, etc. that is a skill we don’t currently have represented.

• Facebook moderator/admin: Our facebook group is a busy place and it’s helpful to have a few people keeping an eye on questions and concerns and approving members to join the group

• newsletter designer: using input and language from other board members, create a visually appealing and easy to read newsletter for Ingraham families. Our newsletter is created in Constant Contact, another web based, easy to use tool.

• translation specialist: help us be more inclusive of all Ingraham families by creating solutions for translation challenges. This is a skill that is not currently represented in a meaningful way and we are working to improve.
