What a great group of volunteers! These are the station facilitators and family math night coordinator for one of our latest Math Medley Family Math Night events. By the way, notice how two of them are students…one middle school and the other high school.

I like how most of them are wearing the school spirit t-shirt. It’s a great way to show support of the school but it’s also a great way for participants to know who is the station facilitator. Visors are another idea, as well. And, of course, name tags.

Each one of these facilitators watched the short 5-minute clip of their station (links included with the kit) and in no time at all were prepared and ready to take on enthusiastic kids and their parents. As one facilitator put it, “Watching the video clip was brilliant!”

Here’s what Suzy, the family math night coordinator, had to say about her role, “I’m a mother of 3 that works part time and has a very busy life. I love event planning, but being a Family Math Night coordinator sounded overwhelming to me when I was first approached because I was worried about how much time I had to give for planning in order for this event to be a success. However, everything I needed was right in front of me and all the support I needed was available either online, via e-mail or a quick phone call. It was the easiest event I have ever coordinated and it was a huge success and I can’t stop thinking about the next one and how we can add to the evening. I am so grateful that I said yes! This needs to be happening in every school! It is exciting! It is fun! And best of all, kids are learning! WIN! WIN! WIN!”

Mission accomplished. Thanks, Suzy!
