  • Lunch Helpers: Now through Friday, September 22 (11:10 – 11:40am each day). It takes a while for the 1st-grade and Kindergarten students to settle into the routine, and many need help opening items in their lunches and reminders to eat quickly.
  • Read to Me (Kindergarten): Volunteer for a 30-minute shift to read picture books to Kindergarten students. Must be trained first. Contact Kristine Edmunds to setup a short training session or ask any questions (kristine_edmunds@beaverton.k12.or.us).
  • Running Club: Help students get out and run on the new track on Tuesdays and Thursdays (11am-noon; noon-1pm).  
  • Library Volunteers: Do you want to help re-shelf books and help students check out books? There are many shifts available with flexible options!  For more info email Desiree Wolfe (desireemw@icloud.com).
  • Passport Club:  Interested in quizzing students on their geography facts?  It’s a great way to meet students and it’s only one day a month.  Email Lori Miller if you’re interested in helping on the passport team. passportclub@terralindaptc.org.

PTC Club and Event Happenings:

Dining for Dollars: The Cedar Mill Laughing Planet Cafe is very excited about hosting our first Dining for Dollars event of the year! They will graciously be donating 15% of the entire day’s sales to Terra Linda on Tuesday, Sept. 26 from 11am-9pm.  See you there!

PTC Meetings: If you are a parent or guardian of a student at Terra Linda, then you are officially a member of the PTC. Mark your calendar to attend the next PTC meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Your input is valued and appreciated!
