ISM Help with a Ladder, Lunch or Recess, and Spanish Tutoring

ISM needs help. If you can do any of the following, please read the paragraphs below and respond directly to Mr. Eric Pearlstein, epearlstein@ismonterey.org.

Thank you!

1. Loan ISM a tall extension ladder
2. Help with supervising lunch or morning or afternoon recess
3. Tutor Spanish (for new ISM students who have little or no Spanish background)

Here's the longer request from Mr. Pearlstein:

1. Is there a parent with a tall extension ladder. I would like hang our "Dream Flags" for our celebration of Veterans Day on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 which will take place at the flag pole. We would need to install eye hooks the week prior and then string the flags Tuesday morning before the ceremony.
   
   
2. Would there be one or two parents who might be available one or two days a week to help supervise during lunch periods? The idea would be for children to have the option of eating outside on the grass one or two days each week. The teachers assigned to supervise could split up, one inside and one outside and then a parent could provide supervision, watching as children leave the lunchroom and walk to the grass area.
   
   Might there be any parents available to help supervise during morning or afternoon recess? With the loss of aides we could use a few more adult sets of eyes.
   
   
3. Would there be parents or grandparents who are native Spanish speakers or fluent in Spanish who could tutor children who are new to ISM? Often these kids have little or no background in Spanish. The program we might develop, and how it might work would depend on the background of the tutors and the time they might be available.
