HOS Adult Leaders Needed

Are you interested in leading a class in earth science, chemistry or architecture? Do you want to help bring more science opportunities to Murch students? If so, then please consider becoming an Adult Leader for the after-school Hands On Science (HOS) program. This is a parent-led/volunteer-based program whereby the Adult Leaders commit to leading an 8-week class after school on the weekday of your choice. You can also choose what grade level you want to lead, be it K-1 or 2-3. And what is so helpful about the HOS program is that the class materials and guidebook are already done for you! The kits are all-inclusive and the guidebook is self-explanatory and the lessons are fully explained for each one-hour session. Please contact  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  if you are interested. Once we have enough leaders, we will schedule a short training session over coffee and pastries. We hope to find enough interest so that the Adult Leaders can co-teach a class together, which helps with classroom management. If you become an adult leader and lead a class, your age-appropriate child is automatically enrolled in the program, the registration fee is waived ($65), and childcare is provided for younger children of adult leaders.
