EDIT: moved the classroom assignments to the Links page

OKAY! Guys! There is officially less than one week left before The Apple Tree starts! With that being said, we have alot of updates for you guys today. Alot. Alot.

1. We have the classroom assignments for the AM! Click the Links page above to see where you need to go! We spent over an hour working out these assignments, and it would be a vast understatement to say that it was a difficult experience trying to fit all of you guys into your top choice rooms. Once we get into the rhythm of things, we'll make necessary adjustments to the classroom assignments.

2. Classroom assignments for the PM special activities will be uploaded within a few days before the 19th. Or after. >_____>

3. If you haven't noticed already, I've posted some more important dates on the Dates page. Check it out! Field trip/event days are all set and ready for you to enjoy!

4. The Volunteer Guidelines have also been posted! If you don't remember something that we went over during the Orientation, click that link! We have organized the materials in alphabetical order for your viewing convenience.

5. Remember, all volunteers must come to the evening orientation on the 19th at 7:00pm. We will be making signs to post on classroom doors and the pews so the students will know where to go on the first day! Some of us will also have to watch kids who show up with their parents. Volunteers will also be taking portraits just in case we need to turn you guys over to the police for the wall collage, so we'll only have to worry about students' pictures once The Apple Tree begins.

Quite a hefty (HEFTY HEFTY HEFTY) post, I must say. We're excited to be working with you guys this year!

*EDIT*6/7@12:07pm*  Please check your emails today!

1. Interviews went relatively smoothly, we're going to have some fun this year haha. I'm happy to say that nobody who came to the interview last Saturday and Sunday were deemed as serial killers or child molesters! Welcome aboard!

2. With almost exactly two weeks left before the program starts, we're super excited. This Saturday at 3:00pm, we will have our Volunteer Orientation, so make sure to show up! If you don't you'll still be held accountable for the things we go over! For those of you who were unable to make interviews and/or want to sign up last minute, make sure to fill out an application here and come to church this Saturday (day of the orientation) by 2:00pm! Once again, if you don't know where our church is located, here is the address:

2129 Venice Blvd

Los Angeles, CA 90006

Please remember to bring in any questions you may have for the Q&A session during the orientation.

3. It's almost show time, everyone. Let's do this right!
