Halloween Carnival Volunteers
Volunteers Needed for our Annual Halloween Carnival! Parents, grandparents, and teens are all welcome! Please sign up to Volunteer for your child's Class Booth at MRE Classroom Volunteer SIgn-Up. We also have lots of other Volunteer needs. Donate just an hour of your time or more! Please contact Mindy Decker or Rachel Candelaria for more details.
Restaurant Night (Oct. 11th) - Rubio's Mira Mesa
Back to school, back to sports/dance/music and back to making lunches! We could all use a night off. So let's DO this. On Thursday, October 11th take your night away from the kitchen, sit down WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS and enjoy some yummy coastal mexican fare. Miramar Ranch FFA has partnered with Rubio's Mira Mesa this month.
For every delicious dollar you spend between 2 and 9 p.m., our school will earn 20% back. We need you to print and bring a FLYER or show it on your phone so the school gets credit. Unfortunately, ordering online doesn't apply, so if take-out is your preferred method to relax, please order by phone and show the flyer when you pick up! Thanks for all you do to support our school! We'll see you @ Rubio's Mira Mesa, (right next to Mimi’s)!
Classroom Volunteers!
This year, the FFA has organized a new system for volunteer sign-ups. We are using Sign-Up Genius, an online tool to assist us in recruiting our school volunteers. Each classroom has a number of volunteer opportunities available.
Click HERE for instructions on how to find the online sign-ups for your class. Some jobs can be done from home. All volunteers must complete our Volunteer Packet and be cleared by the office. A new volunteer packet must be completed every year, so please resubmit your volunteer application even if you volunteered on our campus last year.
For questions about how to become a volunteer or more details about what any particular job entails, email our Volunteer Coordinator, Krista Dwyer, at mrevolunteercoordinator@gmail.com
