Big hugs from me!
I am sorry things are like this.
What about offering to grade papers and help make copies and that kind of thing? You could even offer teachers in 3rd grade so you get an idea of what they are doing and your child will be doing next year. Have you talked with the school counselor about helping with things like Red Ribbon week and stuff like that? Go to the library also, and see if they need help with anything. Also the art and music teachers are usually in need of something. Kindergarten teachers, even though they have para-pro's, usually always have something. Have you been to your child's 1st grade teacher and offered to help her. She already knows you, and how involved you are as a parent and that will help. Have you thought about being a substitute? That would help get you back in the doors.
Christmas is just around the corner and surely they will need help with Santa Shop and christmas party. Start planning for those things.
Go to the park with the kids, walk around the block and admire the different color leaves, make birdfeeders from pinecones, make a leaf collage, etc. There are lots of things you can do with the kids right now that don't include money.
You could always move to GA--we have tons of things you can do to be involved!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
