Welcome Wai is seeking volunteers
by Elinna Bahrin and Heidi Tilley
welcomewai@isb.ac.th
In preparation for the next school year, the Welcome Wai team is looking to put together a list of willing parents who can share school information with new families to help them acclimate. There are many roles available from attending the initial Welcome Back coffees and monthly coffees, to compiling the information packets, being a school specific contact (ES / MS / HS) or a welcoming country/community representative.
Some of the upcoming events are the Welcome Wai Coffee for new Middle School and High School parents during orientation on Saturday, August 13 and the Back to School Coffee on Monday, August 15 at 7:20 am.
The initial point of contact will be the Welcome Wai Coordinators along with PTA School (ES, MS& HS) and Country / Community Representatives.
Being part of the Welcome Wai team is a very simple volunteer role but key to providing a warm welcome to new parents. If this is something you would like to be involved with, we would love to hear from you. Email us at welcomewai@isb.ac.th.
