School volunteer opportunities right here in our neighborhood schools!
Every Meal Weekend Food Program
Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, in conjunction with Every Meal, distribute weekend food bags at Bryn Mawr School. Weekends can be a challenging time for kids who benefit from the free breakfast and lunch the school provides during the week. Every Friday at 11:30am, and days before school breaks, volunteers at Bryn Mawr spend an hour placing food bags in students’ backpacks. The pre-packed bags weigh between 3-5 pounds.
Sign up here to volunteer on a Friday.
Open Gym
The BMNA and the Bryn Mawr School PTA are partnering again this year to offer some active time for our kids during the coldest winter months by hosting open gym at Bryn Mawr Elementary Tuesdays in January and February from 5:30 to 7:30. You may arrive any time and stay as long as your schedule permits during those two hours. This is NOT a dropoff event, so one parent or adult caregiver must remain with their children to ensure their safety. We hope this will be a good way for our kids to stay healthy and active throughout the year. The BMNA has an equipment cart with some balls and toys, You are also welcome to bring your own to use. We are also looking for volunteers to put away the balls and equipment at the end of the evenings.Questions? Contact Colleen Dhennin at colleen.dhennin@bmna.org .
