"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra."
---Jimmy Johnson
Today I worked on coordinating a new guitar class at my daughter's school. There have been group piano classes and loads of other afterschool activities, but not this one.
I am pleasantly surprised at how easy it's been to organize and find people to help out, and it makes me so grateful to live in a community where people step forward to teach or volunteer or to help with coordinating so quickly.
A parent responded to my email posting that her husband could teach. The afterschool activities coordinator is taking care of the flyer and put me in touch with another mom who reserves the room. Then today I posted a message about seeking volunteers to help out in the class (since it'll be hard to have one teacher with about 12 kids) and I got very enthusiastic responses.
If you have an idea for a class or activity, or for anything that can better your child's school, I say go for it. It may not be as hard as you thing to get it up and running, and you may probably be surprised at how many people may make themselves available to help in some way.
