Every Meal Weekend Food Program, Fridays at 11:30 am
Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church in conjunction with Every Meal distribute weekend food bags to kids in need at Bryn Mawr and Anwatin Schools. Weekends can be a challenging time for kids who benefit from the free breakfast and lunch the school provides during the week. Every Friday we need 4 volunteers at Bryn Mawr and 2 at Anwatin to spend up to an hour placing food bags in student’s backpacks. The bags weigh between 3-5 pounds and are prepacked and stored on dollies that can be rolled through the school. More information and sign up here
- Fridays, Bryn Mawr School, 11:30 am-12:30 pm
There are many ways to volunteer at Bryn Mawr School
Enjoy the School Forest with Bryn Mawr Scholars
Elementary School science teacher, Allison Kavanagh, is excited to help her students learn about nature in the school forest. She is looking for volunteers to make these ventures safe with another adult on hand. As our science specialist, she works with all grades on a rotating basis, so you can choose the age children you would like to work with and the time of day that works for you. She is very flexible and even one hour a week would be great. If you wish to explore this opportunity to get some fresh air and help kids connect to nature, you can email Allison.Kavanagh@mpls.k12.mn.us. Thanks for considering!
