** Volunteer Opportunities **


Adopt a Butterfly or Hummingbird Bed ~ These beds always need  
weeding, cutting dead flowers, fertilization and mulching.

Help maintain and expand the teacher's garden by the portable
classrooms. Help beautify this area.

Adopt the Orchard ~  Help turn our orchard into a teaching garden. Assist
with pruning, fertilizing and selecting new species.

The Nature Area and Outdoor Classroom can use pruning, maintenance,
weeding and planting.

You can do the maintenance on any of these areas at your own pace and
time! We can show you our plans and you can take it from there!

Also, the Kinder "Garden" and First grade demonstration gardens depend
on parent's assistance. If you have a child who will be "graduating" to one
of these grades and would like to assist or take charge of these small
gardens, please see or talk to Vivian Cardoso at 281-641-2886.

And, several times per year we have parent/faculty workdays to maintain
the green areas in our outdoor classrooms. Watch for announcements and
please volunteer to help during these important days. None of the natural
outdoor classrooms are maintained by HISD due to budget limitations.
Therefore, in order to keep Oak Forest looking sharp, we do need your
help!
