Dear Montlake Elementary Families and Staff,

Thank you for your contribution of time and effort to the Montlake School.  Your generosity has had direct impact on all Montlake students.  Because you work closely with Montlake students, staff, and families, we would like to ask that you share your experiences with others in the form of photos and stories. The photos will be used on the school website and the spring Auction slideshow that we create every year.  The story will be posted on the Happenings blog along with a single picture of the outing. 


If you are volunteering, please do these simple steps:


Photos:

  1. Bring a camera and start snapping
  2. Email the web team to receive information on where to upload photos (webmaster@montlakeschool.net) - PLEASE be selective, as we are interested in the a handful of compelling photos.
Note:  We will adhere to the District Web Publishing Guidelines when posting photos with students, as well as the responses on the Website Photo Permission Form.  Please fill out and submit the form, if you have not already done so.  Thank you.


Happenings Story (to be posted on http://montlakeschool.org/Happenings.aspx):

  1. Coordinate with other parents to decide who will submit the story - we'd appreciate one story per outing/event
  2. Email the story to the web team.  The length should be about 3-5 sentences long. (webmaster@montlakeschool.net)


“Photo and Story Ops” to get your creative juices flowing!

  • Field Trips – If you are chaperoning a field trip, bring a camera and take some of those “ah-ha” moments.  Coordinate with other parents and submit a short story.
  • PTA-Sponsored Events (e.g. Pizza & Math Night) – Take a snapshot of students noodling math problems.
  • Classrooms – If you volunteer in the classrooms, take photo of candid shots of our students and a story to go along with it.  Great things are happening in each classroom, multi-media, Junior Great Books, Art, Greenhouse, show-and-tell, and so much more!
  • Enrichment classes - Chess Club, Math Challenge, Mandarin, Spanish, French, etc.!
  • Student Activities - Penny Harvest, Student Council, Green Team, etc.
  • Parent Volunteers in Action – It doesn’t have to be all about kids.  There are so many families who generously give their time to make a positive impact on our students.  They come in the form of classroom time, fundraisers (Husky parking, Evergreen Sale, Auction, Greenhouse Fundraising), writing grants, organizing field trip checks and writing deposit slips, etc. etc.  When you get a chance, take a pretty picture of those folks, too, please!
  • And plenty, plenty more!


Thank you!
Montlake PTA
