Pumpkin Patch Sign-Ups If you aren't familiar with the Pumpkin Patch, here's the scoop: the high school sells pumpkins during Halloween as a fund raiser for all sports teams and clubs on campus. For many of these teams, this is the only fund-raising activity that they do all year. Every team is asked to staff the Pumpkin Patch based on the size of the team. Because the Cross Country team is so large, we get to staff the Patch for 3 24-hour shifts. This includes the night time shift as well. A small trailer with the basics is provided - just bring your sleeping bag and make it a all-nighter! More info on the overnight shift below. This is easy to do. Bring a book to read - you'll be sitting at a table next to the RV waiting for customers. When they show up, you match the pumpkin size to determine the price, collect the money and you're back to reading. It's so easy, you can sign up for multiple shifts! Sign up with a friend, the grand parents, or with your cross country runner. The only restriction is that students cannot work shifts by themselves. To spread this out across the team, we have broken our 24-hour shifts into small 2-hour shifts (except the night shift, which is 12 hours). Contact the team parentsto sign up for one (or more) of the shifts. Note: If you sign up for a slot and then later decide you can't make it, you will need to find your replacement. Please don't put it back on the team parent coordinators. Thanks in advance for your understanding. Please show up 5-10 minutes prior to the start of your shift so the previous shift can update you to last-minute items. To Sign Up: Please send an e-mail to Lynne Steffens at steffens6 "at" yahoo.com and indicate the day and time you wish to volunteer. Also include a second time in case someone beat you to your favorite time. We'll keep this list as up-to-date as we can.
Overnight info: This is usually a non-selling shift but if customers are still coming, you may stay open longer. There is a small trailer equipped with toilet, TV, bed etc. You must be present the entire shift. If you can not stay over the entire shift you may split it with someone. Bring your sleeping bag and pillow and have a sleepover with the kids!! |
