Volunteers Needed September 8-9 at Eckstein Middle School

September 6, 2010 by 2 Comments

If you’re an Eckstein Middle School parent or guardian, Volunteer Coordinator LauraLeigh Young needs your help (emphasis mine):

YOU can help Eckstein students get off to a great start this year by spending just a few hours at school this Wednesday or Thursday!  Volunteers are needed to welcome and direct students in the morning and at lunch on the first two days of school — no experience required and don’t worry, you don’t need to already know your way around the building!

The school is looking for help during the following times:

  • Wed, Sept 8 — 7:45 to 10:15 and 10:15 to 1:45
  • Thurs, Sept 9 — 7:35 to 8:15 and 10:25 to 12:15

If you’re available during any of those four times and would like to help, contact Laura at llyoung [at] seattleschools.org.

Nathan Eckstein Middle School is located at 3003 NE 75th Street.

Libraries Reopen Tuesday, NE Branch Story Times Off Until October

September 6, 2010 by Leave a Comment

The Northeast Library reopens on Tuesday!  Yay!

Strap the kids into the mini-van Volvo station wagon and head on down to 6801 35th Ave NE to return that overdue copy of Harold and the Purple Crayon, but if you’re expecting to go to Story Time…

Tall as a Tree!

…you’re out of luck.

Wide as a...wait a second...

Children’s Librarian Erica Delavan will be spending some of her time this month catching up from the closure and visiting local elementary schools.  Story Times will resume the first week of October.

Erica recommends, in the meantime:

Begin with Books kits: Check out thematic kits for toddlers and preschoolers. More information on how to reserve these kits is here. [http://www.spl.org/default.asp?pageID=audience_children_parents_themekits]

That link will be open on Tuesday, too.
