VOLUNTEERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Volunteers truly make a difference!  We see it every day here at East Lake Elementary.  We recognize the many volunteers who help make a difference for the students and staff at East Lake Elementary and I continue to be amazed by the strong support we receive from our volunteers.  I feel very fortunate to work with a community of such dedicated parents willing to come and help out in a variety of ways.  Countless hours of volunteer time were donated this year to East Lake Elementary.  I personally want to say thank you to the many, many volunteers who make a difference in the learning here at school.   

Here are just some examples of how volunteers serve the children and staff at East Lake Elementary.
* Present an Art Adventure lesson          
* Read to students                         
* Assist with our social events   
* Assist with school fundraisers 
* Help out our teachers                                
* Chaperone field trips                
* Plan or assist with our parties 
* Provide assistance during lunch             

This is just a small sampling of what volunteers do at East Lake each and every day.  Your time and effort are greatly appreciated by all staff. Communication will be coming out soon asking for volunteer support for the 2023-2024 school year.

THANK YOU EAST LAKE VOLUNTEERS!

With Kindness,

Miles Haugen
