Top Ten Reasons to Volunteer at MMCA
10. You'll understand the the GREEN
Room is not the waiting area before coming onto "The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno.
9. The teachers have another adult to
conspire with.
8. Some employers let you volunteer
during work hours, so I ask you: Is it better to work at MMCA with the
children or stay at work with people who act like children?
7. You can actually see where NOT
enough of your tax dollars is going.
6. You can see for yourself if the
"Mom! Dad! It isn't me" explanation is valid.
5. You can tell other children besides
your own, "Because I said so!"
4. You can hear for yourself, "What
she said, then what he said and then what she said back."
3. You too can learn what Restaurant
Manners are.
2. You'll understand and empathize if
Mr. Boothby develops a nervous tick.
And the #1 Reason to Volunteer at MMCA?
1. Because WE NEED YOU!!!!!

There are many parents who come and volunteer
at our school. Sometimes they remember to write down their hours in the tracking
logs in the office, and sometimes they forget. Then you have the parents that do
much of their volunteering from home, who never have a chance to come in and
sign the logs. This form is a way to give everyone the opportunity to log their
volunteer hours. UPDATE:
With MMCA being split into two
campuses, using the web-based volunteer tracking log is the best way to go. Log
your hours at your convenience.
Note: You are still
required by law to check in & sign in at the front off ice of either campus you
attend.
