About the Committee
What: The Hispanic Outreach Liaison works to create a PTA that is welcoming and inclusive to our Spanish speaking community. This year I will strive to facilitate Spanish speaking parents’ participation and engagement in school activities, volunteerism, and PTA work. In addition, I hope to assist these families in understanding the role the PTA plays in their children’s education and elementary school experience.
When: Duration of school year.
Needed: Parents and FKES community members interested in strengthening the presence and involvement of Spanish speaking parents at FKES! Plan to have fun!
- Volunteers fluent in written English and Spanish to translate PTA literature from English to Spanish. Translations will be rotated among volunteers.
- Volunteers fluent in spoken English and Spanish for simultaneous translation at meetings and occasional events. All translation equipment is provided by PTA.
- Volunteers to coordinate Hispanic Heritage Month activities. Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15, the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries. We hope to plan activities that celebrate the cultural diversity found among the Latino community at FKES in order to foster pride in one’s own culture and respect and appreciation for the uniqueness of others.
- Volunteers fluent in spoken Spanish to contact Spanish speaking only families as needed.
