CALLING ALL GARDENERS!

All volunteers must have clearance according to Megan's Law and have a current TB Test on file with the office. Here is more info and forms needed. http://www.powayusd.com/en-US/Community/Volunteer.aspx

Chaparral has three volunteer programs:


  1. Garden Corps: This will be a program run in the garden's Outdoor Classroom during class time. Parents who volunteer will only be required to go to trainings and teach 5 lessons during the year. Depending on your classroom teacher, you may want to help teach more lessons as the teacher sees fit. The garden will be available for these sign-ups:
    Monday, Wednesday, Friday:
    9:00--10:15 | 10:30-11:30
    Parents may have signed up for Garden Corps on back-to-school night or by talking to their child's teacher. Or please contact Joelle Kohn at jrkohn@gmail.com or 858-349-7024. We'd love to get each class out to the garden!

  2. Recess Volunteers: We would like to have the garden open and available during recess time, depending on the number of volunteers we get. We will set up stations for you on a monthly basis and will have a list of to-do items in the garden for maintenance. This is a fun way to give back and see your child during their recess.
    Shifts available:
    Monday - Friday: 8:30-9:00am = before school starts.
    Monday - Friday: 10:30 - 11:25am = 4th & 5th grade recesses.
    Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri 1:55 - 2:40pm = 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade recesses
    Please contact Joelle Kohn at jrkohn@gmail.com or 858-349-7024 to sign up and help our garden grow!

  3. Behind-the-Scenes Volunteers: If you are handy, like to build and do fix-it jobs, and/or might be good at laying brick, we would love your help. Please contact Joelle Kohn at or 858-349-7024
