MEET THE MASTERS
Meet the Masters is an art program for our elementary students where parent volunteers teach about some of the great master artists. Whether you are a seasoned or new Art Parent, the tools provided to you make it quite straightforward to execute in the classroom. You need not be creative or artsy to teach this program – if you can read a recipe, you can do it. Plus, your teacher is there to manage the classroom.
Volunteers are needed once a month during the school day January-May to facilitate Meet the Masters. Curriculum and supplies provided through the PTA. Volunteer here.
CHESS GROUP
The Galileo Chess Group is open to all K-8 students and all skill levels! Chess Group meets every Wednesday morning before school from 8:40 – 9:20 in the Galileo Cafeteria. If your student is interested, please indicate here.
Parent Volunteers:
Parents are asked to volunteer for two mornings a year. It’s easy and you don’t need to understand the game either! You will be asked to sign up at registration but if you need to change your volunteer day later you can do so. Volunteer here.
