Byam Weekly Announcements
Byam School Association Information!
Dear Parents...
We are humbly asking parents to consider volunteering for one small event each year, even if it is only for 30 minutes. We are noticing that the same parents are assisting over and over, and they are getting burnt out. We fear that some events may suffer because of this, and we are hoping that maybe people will hear this plea and be willing to donate just a small bit of their time. If your child is attending an event, please consider keeping an eye out for future sign-up forms. Many responsible 3rd and 4th graders love helping too, and with parental supervision they can be a huge asset to our BSA!! Thank you all!!! You can also signup for our volunteer newsletter to be notified about upcoming opportunities!
~Sincerely, your BSA Board

GET INVOLVED WITH THE BSA!
We often hear, "I want to get involved but I don't know how"...here are a few roles we are looking to fill as we have parents moving to middle school, and just to spread the workload a bit. Feel overwhelmed because you don't know what you are doing? Have no fear! There are currently chairs in place to teach you the ropes and "ease" you into it. And also...we are just faking it until we make it too 😆 If any of these interest you, email bsa.chelmsford@gmail.com, if none of these strike your fancy but you still want to get involved...reach out to us, there are plenty of other ways you can help out!
