Allenby Fall Sports Coordinators
With such a successful Allenby Baseball season every Spring, we’re hoping to introduce a month-long edition of Kick Baseball (Kickball) in the Fall. This role will require some quick planning on getting sign-ups, organizing parent volunteers, and helping to support the parent volunteers in the evening games. Email the APA for more information or to volunteer.
APA Newsletter Editors
Do you have a passion for communication and comfort with digital publishing tools like MailChimp and WordPress? The Allenby Newsletter team is seeking additional editors to contribute to the Allenby community. The team of newsletter editors work together in weekly rotation, and the time commitment is 2-3 hours a month. If you are interested, email allenbyeditors@gmail.com to learn more.
Lip Sync
Lip Sync is one of the most anticipated community events of the year! Students choose their favourite songs, choreograph some fabulous dance moves, coordinate their costumes, and put on an amazing night of entertainment in the Allenby gym! Grade 6 students MC the night, the APA has concessions and the always popular “bling boutique”, and most importantly—the community comes together to cheer on our student performers. It’s a fun night of pure joy!
If you’re interested in volunteering on the committee by helping to plan dress rehearsals, organize music, plan concessions, run the bling boutique, or create signage, there are many different opportunities to get involved! Planning will start in early January. Email the APA for more information or to volunteer.
Grade 6 Grad Committee
It may seem like the school year has just begun, but preparations for the Grade 6 Graduation are starting soon. We are looking for committee volunteers to work on the yearbook, the student party, the parent party, decorations, the art project, and grad reception. Email the APA for more information or to volunteer.
