3) Teacher & Staff Appreciation Committee

The Teacher & Staff Appreciation Committee coordinates monthly gifts and treats to show gratitude to our amazing teachers and staff throughout the year.

Parent donations are collected at various times and used to create thoughtful gift bags or snack bundles, especially during busy periods like conference week (granola bars, chips, nuts, etc.). An FPO member will assemble the gifts and deliver them to staff mailboxes.

At the beginning of the school year, an FPO member will send out a SignUpGenius link with a list of needed items and donation dates. You can sign up for whatever works best for you! Please note that the total value of the items we request over the year is roughly equal to the $30 opt-out fee.

8) Library Parent Committee

All library books used at Franklin Jordan must be read and reviewed by parents before they are added to our collection. This reading can be done at home, and we provide clear criteria for assessing each book. We kindly ask that each book be reviewed within a two-week timeframe. In addition to reviewing books, committee members can also support the library by:

• Reshelving books
• Helping maintain tidy shelves
• Assisting with book care and repairs

Volunteer time is flexible and can be scheduled with Mrs. Langley. This is a year-round committee, and your support keeps our library running smoothly and full of high-quality, engaging books for our students.
