At Jade’s school we are supposed to volunteer for at least 40 hours a year. When you and your better half both work full-time, it is really hard to find the time to get those 40 hours in. So I try to chaperon field trips as often as I can make it work. Unfortunately I was late to Back-to-School night and the field trips were mostly all taken. I am chaperoning a couple, but not nearly enough to get to my 40 hours.
Last year I managed the scholastic book orders. That took a little bit of time.
This year I found the perfect role for me to get volunteer hours. Historian.
So I discovered a great way to be a class historian. Shutterfly has “ShareSites” and if you do a classroom one it is totally secure. You have to be invited and you must have a shutterfly account with that email address. Once you are a member of the site, you have the rights to add photos and posts and calendar events.
It was so cool, I decided to do one for the dance companies at our studio.
From the website parents can create a photobook or order prints. How cool is that???
I’m so excited! Go create your own classroom site (and while you are signing up, you get 50 prints for FREE)!
**** PS I received nothing from Shutterfly, I wasn’t asked to do this by Shutterfly, I simply found it on my own.

Awesome! I am the Girl Scout historian for my daughter’s troop, and this is a perfect solution. Thanks!
That is such a cool idea! I’d have loved if my kids’ teachers would do something like this with the pictures they take during the year.
