HELP NEEDED - Vision and Hearing Screenings - Anacortes School District Mornings of Feb 17th through Feb 20th
Dear Lions and Leos, (Especially if you are trained)
Just checking in to see if anyone who was certified would like to join us on any of the four days Anacortes Lions will be screening for vision and hearing. If you haven’t had a chance to certify or recertify, I will have the equipment for the next 2 weeks before we get started and would be happy to set up an in-person or a virtual training session for you. If you are under 18 and still want to help, you would not be able to use the equipment for screening, but could assist with student flow and sorting/calculating results. We would still provide a virtual or in-person training on confidentiality and student interaction guidelines.
Screenings will take place on the following days and approximate times:
Please reply listing when you would be available and if you would be able to help out any of the 4 days, but only have enough time to work for one or two of them, just let us know. Just list your name, email and phone number below the time you’d like to volunteer, or reply to me in this email. Or call me (360) 391-5880
These are approximate times, and it is good to arrive 30 minutes before the start time. Volunteers, need to complete the volunteer form at this link every school year: https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/NDU4OmVuLVVT Details are also pasted below.
Tuesday, Feb 17: Anacortes Middle School, 2202 M Avenue: 8am-10am
Wednesday, Feb 18: Mount Erie, 1313 41st St: 9:20am- 12pm
