Let’s Support Our Wonderful Staff and Teachers!! Volunteer for the PEST Program!!
The PEST (Parents Encouraging Staff & Teachers) Program is a Staff Appreciation Program. PESTs are a group of parent volunteers who support our wonderful staff and teachers. There are no meetings to attend and you participate on your own schedule. It's a great way to brighten someone's day!
PEST volunteers will be assigned a staff member or teacher and given some information about him or her. The parent then supports their staff member or teacher throughout the school year. This year will be a little different since parents and students are not allowed to step on campus to drop off cards and gifts. It will be even simpler for the PESTs since everything will be virtual. You can send quick emails of encouragement, holiday messages, an e-gift card birthday surprise, and/or other gestures of appreciation on a regular basis (about once or twice a month). Be as creative and funny as you want! If your teacher loves dogs, take a picture of your dog with a "THANK YOU!" sign around his neck. If you are a PEST for a Social Studies teacher, have your student dress up as one of the historical figures they are learning about and send a video of them saying a heartfelt message to their teacher. If your teacher is an SF 49ers fan, send a photo of your family dressed up in 49ers jerseys with signs reading "YOU ARE THE BEST!" It’s super fun and easy and really brightens their day! See photos from last year of happy teachers receiving gifts from their PESTs and what they say about the PEST Program at the PEST Website.
Thank you for your interest in the Community Club’s support of our staff and teachers!! If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

How can parents best support the personal and academic needs of their children while also attending to their own professional and familial needs?
