Hello Thunderbirds, Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 28th 6:00 p.m. to attend Trailwood's MVP training session with Dr. John McKinney. The program has changed over the years so please read the message below regarding who needs to be trained and the overall process. The training is open to all families, as well as community members so please share the news!

My Volunteer Pal (MVP)
In as little as thirty minutes per week, you can make a positive difference in the life of a student. The Shawnee Mission School District MVP Program connects adult volunteers with students ages four to 18. MVPs can assist in a wide range of school activities, including mentoring, volunteering in the classroom, joining classes and schools for field trips, tutoring in a variety of subjects, or simply being a positive, adult role model in the life of a student. No special skills are required; only a willingness to commit your time and energy and the ability to develop a good relationship with a young person. Volunteers enjoy flexible schedules, and most activities take place on school grounds, during school hours.
​

Examples of opportunities include, but are not limited to:
  • Chaperones for SMSD-approved Classroom Field Trips*
  • Chat ‘n Chew
  • Mad Science
  • Young Rembrandts
  • Lego's Club
  • Battle of the Books
  • Mentors
  • Classroom volunteers
  • Tutors
  • Trailwood Wingmen 
  • Girl/Boy Scouts
*Refer to SMSD BOE Policy IFCB for a definition of USD 512 Approved Field Trips and Non-Sanctioned Field Trips. ​
​
MVP training is required anytime a student is handed off to another adult before or after school who is not the parent, guardian, parent approved adult, or school employee (i.e. after-school activities).
