    Walk Run Move Coordinator Needed
    Hi community! Steph Barnhart, PTSA FUNraising Chair here. SES Walk Run Move is returning later this year: Friday, May 26! I managed this event last year to bring it back post-Covid, but would love to find new lead coordinator(s) to train who will lead the charge for the next couple of years. It is simple, SO FUN, and already pretty organized for 2023 - great year to learn the ropes!

    Do you have some project management chops? Experience volunteering at or running marathons or races? Just want to bring a lot of joy to students and a good chunk of $$$ to the school? I will work with you every step of the way this year, and I’d be happy to share more about what the job entails or answer any questions.

    Some of those things are: Coordinating volunteers, brochure design & distribution, managing the fundraising program, setting up the route, collaborating with our awesome PE staff Iris, working with the PTSA safety committee, seeking prize donations, and working with our sponsors.

    Even remotely curious?? Let’s talk! Email: stephbarnhart1@gmail.com.

     

    Join us at the SES Westwind Family Camp Weekend!
