On January 5, 6 and 7 Olsen Middle will be taking 8th grade students on
a trip to Junior Achievement’s Finance Park, located at the Broward Community College-North Campus. Picture a “town” set up just to provide a hands-on, realistic experiences in handling credit cards, saving, investing, taxes, budgeting and career options! This will be possible for Olsen Middle students, but we urgently need the 20-30 volunteers required by Junior Achievement. Volunteers will be trained to participate as the students take their unique trip through Finance Park. Volunteers are asked to report to the Finance Park at 7:00 AM for an hour of training before students arrive. Volunteers can sign up to serve one day, two days or all three! We will be happy to assist in organizing carpools so please don’t let transportation stop you from volunteering!
If you are able to help us make this exciting trip possible for our students, please contact Mr. Correll at 754-323-3800, Ext. 2011 or Email him at thomas.correll@browardschools.com.
Field Trip Volunteers Needed- Monday, January 14th, to Junior Achievement BizTown — Worth a Vacation Da November 20, 2009
Posted by cwotton in Uncategorized.comments closed
On Monday, January 14, 2010, Palm Cove Elementary will be taking 5th grade students on a field trip to Junior Achievement BizTown, located at the Broward College-North Campus (formerly known as BCC). This is an unusual opportunity for adult volunteers to actively participate as students enter a mini-city, supported by trained instructors (volunteers), where they will take full responsibility as proprietors, civic leaders and customers. The students will operate and patronize businesses such as a newspaper, radio station, television station, bank, electric company, restaurant, real estate firm, and others. Through their day at BizTown, students will greatly increase their knowledge of the free enterprise system, teamwork, leadership, punctuality and many other skills vital to success in the workplace.
Palm Cove needs approximately 35 volunteers, who will report to Biz Town for training one hour before the students arrive. We will be happy to coordinate carpools from the school to BizTown for volunteers who do not wish to drive to the Coconut Creek campus. This will be AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH THE STUDENTS AND THE ADULT VOLUNTEERS!
Sign up today by calling Ms. Carolyn Cerrato, Reading Resource Specialist, at 754-323-6814 or Email her at carolyn.cerrato@browardschools.com. Please note: due to the large number of volunteers needed, we are accepting volunteers whose children are not attending fifth grade at Palm Cove.

Please check back often for updates.
Broward County Public Schools is participating in the national effort to prevent high levels of student illnesses due to the H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus by partnering with the Broward County Health Department in a district-wide inoculation program. The Health Department will be coming to all district public schools to provide the H1N1 vaccine to students whose parents provide consent.
Though trained medical personnel, provided by the Health Department will be administering the vaccinations, many schools in the District will need community volunteers to support and assist in this massive undertaking. You can play a role in keeping Broward’s children flu-free. Volunteers are needed to:
- assist in reviewing parent consent forms
- complete vaccination cards
- help with the children
- provide other general duties as needed
In recognition of the H1N1 Project Volunteers, the Health Department will provide free vaccines to all volunteers who request it.
This site will be updated in the coming weeks as information on individual school needs is received.
- Dates: Specific dates between mid-October and late November will be announced on this site by school location.
- Time/Period: A three-hour minimum per day is requested. Volunteers may serve one-day or several days.
- Locations: Schools throughout the county will need volunteers. See specific school information below.
- Training: An orientation will be provided by Broward County Health Department, which will also be supervising each site.
- Special Needs: Volunteers with bi-lingual skills will be needed at some locations.
To participate, call Broward Schools H1N1 Volunteer Project Hotline at 754-321-2040.
Please Note: Student and staff safety is a priority for Broward County Public Schools. All volunteers must authorize Broward County Public Schools to conduct a criminal background check. Additionally, all volunteers must present a government issued photo ID each time they participate as a H1N1 volunteer. A valid driver’s license is the preferred document.
