You
are in the best position to generate the interest and enthusiasm among
your students to make NP:C a reality for your school. You will be
encouraging students to apply to the program, answering their questions,
and counseling parents with questions. You may even wish to initiate
a fund-raising drive to help offset student expenses or plan a cultural
day at your school or within the community to generate excitement.
Finally, you will coordinate the application process, ensuring that
all applications are complete and down payments are included.
There is a great deal of paperwork involved with the preparations
for the trip. It is therefore highly recommended that you enlist
the help of a parent volunteer to look over all of the paperwork to
make sure all forms are filled out properly with the appropriate attachments
and ensure that checks are signed. This parent volunteer could also
assist you with photocopy materials as well. Teachers who have had
such a parent volunteer have found such assistance to be a valuable
time saver!
