At
Wolfle we strive to instill in our students a sense of giving to their
community through volunteerism, while also beginning to prepare them for
the world of work. As with Adult Volunteers, the opportunities are
abundant. Students have various jobs in classrooms that they must
fulfill. Listed below are two of the programs that are offered school
wide.
Meaningful Work Program:
We
have a Meaningful Work Program that allows students to assume
responsibility, pride and ownership for a wide variety of roles

throughout
the school. The jobs, which are quite popular, include disc jockey
(morning announcements), raising and lowering the school flag, office
runners, helping in the computer lab, mail delivery, and more. As a way
to prepare them for the real workplace, students must apply and compete
for these jobs, interview, and maintain good work ethics and skills.
Recess Mediator:
Our
Mediator Program offers opportunities for 5th graders to provide
leadership and problem solving skills on the playground. Students work
in teams of two to help younger students (grades K-4) at recess resolve
problems and conflicts.
