Parents' Night Out

Children and parents alike are looking forward to another big year for PNO. Last year, more than 65 parents volunteered their valuable time and energy to watch our children, (usually 100 at a time!) and got better acquainted with other Moharimet parents at the same time.

Many thanks in advance to Dennis Harrington and the school representatives who also attend each PNO. PNO couldn't run without the support of the entire Staff at Moharimet, we truly are a cooperative unit!

The following are the 1996-97 PNO dates, Saturdays from 6:00 to 11:00.

• October 19
• November 16
• December 14
• January 18
• February 15
• March 15
• April 12
• May 10

We need lots of well appreciated volunteers to make this concept continue to run so well. In order to keep the program equitable and self-supporting, everyone who uses PNO should also be a volunteer. For each PNO we need;

• 10-12 care givers for each night
• 1 person to bring coffee and snack for the care givers
• 1 person to bring 3 movies (rated G or PG)

We also could use help;

• collecting, alphabetizing and typing the names from the registration forms
• making phone calls as necessary
• taking phone calls as necessary
• coordinating volunteers

We definitely need to think of the PNO program more in terms of aly need to think of the PNO program more in terms of a Volunteer Cooperative. If we are to accommodate over 100 children at each event we need lots of parent power! There are lots of ways to volunteer at just one PNO, or contribute your time and energy in some other way so your children can attend any and all of the eight scheduled PNO's per school year. It really can be a lot of fun, your children love it, you will too.

There are a few guidelines for this year to help thing run smoothly.

• In the event of bad weather, the PNO for that night will be cancceled and not rescheduled. Listen to the radio for announcement of the cancellation.
• Enrollment will be limited, the first to sign up will be accepted and those that don't make the cut off will get priority for the next PNO.ike to fill in
• We would like to fill in the volunteer spots now for the entire year to avoid last minute begging. Please let Betsy Renshaw know at which PNO you can help out (749-2317). You will get a phone call the week before y;our syou all for ycheduled PNO to confirm your "job".

Thank you all for your input and continuous support. Please call Betsy Renshaw at 749-2317 with questions, comments, suggestions or to volunteer. See you soon!
