Yeager then explained the benefits to parents and organized fund-raisers. Yeager and the PTA provided daily food and small gifts during Teacher Appreciation Week this year, helping the staff to feel appreciated. The PTA periodically holds candy sales after school, usually on Fridays. Because kindergarten students could get lost in the crowd, Yeager arranged to have PTA volunteers go to the kindergarten classrooms to sell to those students. Under Yeager's leadership, the PTA has given money to each classroom teacher for the purchase of games on bad weather days.
Classrooms also receive books from the profits from the Book Fair.
Yeager also coordinates the school pancake feed, the soup supper to fund the fourth-grade trip to Lincoln, the school carnival, the collection of Campbell's soup labels and General Mills boxtops. Yeager often is a volunteer driver for school field trips and has volunteered to be the teller each week over the past three years for the Children's Bank. Outside of school, Yeager has taught Sunday school at Trinity United Methodist Church for several years. Post your thoughts in The Public Forum. All rights reserved.
