Vernfield Home & School Association will be hosting our 3rd annual Spirit’s Skate Party on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025.

The event is held at Inline 309 in Hatfield and will be from 1:00-2:30pm. Tickets are $15/per skater and are purchased that day at the door.

This event is not limited to Vernfield students, so your children may bring a friend! Family, friends or siblings not skating, do not require a ticket.

Our 5th grade class will be hosting a bake sale at the event, so bring cash to support them!

Any 5th grade students and families can sign up to volunteer at the bake sale below. All bake sale monies will go towards the 5th grade picnic.

Please note that this is not a drop-off event. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

The Vernfield Home & School Association is seeking parent volunteers to participate in the February Pod Parents program which will be available on:

-Wednesday, February 5th

-Thursday, February 6th

Pod Parents is a volunteer program where parent(s)/guardian(s) assist any participating teachers & staff with projects, tasks, and/or other busy work. Volunteers may float amongst the six (6) pods (K - 5th grades), the Main Office and the Library to complete any work during their designated time slot.

Teachers & Staff are looking for help at the following times:

• 9:00 – 11:00am
• 1:00 – 3:00pm

Please sign up via the below link:

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4EADA72FA1FFC16-53612900-podparents

When you arrive at the school, please:

1. Check into the front office for the Pod Parent directions. You will need your driver’s license and the completed volunteer registration form, which can be found on the SASD website.
2. Once checked in, you can proceed to any of the Pods, where there will be instructions that participating teachers have left for the volunteers. Please note that all volunteer work will be completed in the Pod and not in the classrooms.
3. Please do not enter the classrooms or otherwise disturb classroom learning. Further, younger siblings may not accompany the adults while volunteering at school.
4. Please be respectful that pod parent volunteer time is not a time to hold individual conversations with your child's teacher or to visit the classroom of your child.
5. Kindly check with Mrs. Smerecki (Main Office) and Mrs. Porco (Library) to see if they need assistance.
6. If you have completed your work, and you are not able to find any additional work, please be advised that you are not required to stay for the full two (2) hours.
7. Finally, if you are not able to complete the project, please leave the instructions and materials in the pod as you found them for the next group of volunteers to work on.

If you have any questions and/or concerns, you may reach out to Kristin Emmons at kristin.m.emmons@gmail.com
