GRAD NIGHT GENERAL FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES

Dealing for Dollars  -  Please see the two notices below.  For both the Holiday Party, and the Training Date, please respond to Carrie Wong at sidekik@msn.com, ASAP.

Holiday Party, Saturday, Nov. 14th

The first event LHS Dealers can work is Saturday, November 14th. 

If you are interested in participating, OR if you have already trained and would like to sign up for West Coast holiday events, please contact Carrie at sidekik@msn.com, so we can include you on the list!

Training Date Monday, Nov. 16, 6:30pm, LHS Commons

West Coast Entertainment offers an opportunity to pay down the ticket price.  They are in need of Blackjack Dealers for their party events this holiday season, and are willing to train Grad Night parents to work at these parties.  For each night, you will receive a $50.00 credit, which will pay down your total ticket price.  Kids 16 years and over can train with their parents/guardians.

A training date has been scheduled for Monday, November 16th, at 6:30pm, in the LHS Commons.  We must have at least 10-15 parents at this training session.  Mock blackjack tables will be set up, and veteran dealers provide step-by-step instructions.

The biggest benefit for participating in "Dealing for Dollars" is that you can have the entire ticket paid off, with no cost to you.  Training is free.  For example, one couple worked together at the holiday events.  At $50 per person, per event, they paid off their child's ticket in just two events!

How does Study Zone Online work? - View a demo of the Study Zone Online
Study Zone Online uses the online classroom designed by Brainfuse, allowing for simultaneous live chat and whiteboard drawing functions.  As with the Study Zone tutors in the library, Study Zone Online take place in a group setting with 1-5 students for each tutor.  Students can work individually with a tutor or students can work together in a group and get help from a tutor as they need it.  Students can even use our online worksheets for skills building practice.

How do students join Study Zone?
There is no need to sign up in advance, just log in any time during Study Zone hour.  All you need is your library card.  Students can also drop in to work with live tutors at most KCLS libraries.   To find a live tutor at a library near you see the regular Study Zone program and the Study Zone Tutoring Schedule.
Who are Study Zone tutors?
Study Zone tutors are volunteers from our communities who must pass a Washington State patrol background check and complete a program orientation before they begin tutoring. Study Zone tutors can provide help in all subject areas up to the 8th grade level and also specialize in one or two subjects each up to the college-prep level.
Interested in volunteering to be a tutor? 
Be a Study Zone leader! The Study Zone needs dedicated volunteers to help students with their homework.  The minimum commitment for Study Zone Online is 3 hours, one day per week. Training and support are provided.
