Your children go to a local school that requires volunteers to accompany school science trips.

- Introduce yourself and give details of your children who attend the school
- Explain why you are interested in the position
- Talk about any relevant experience that you have with children
范文：
Dear Vice-Principal Harris,
My name is Sheldon Schmidt and I am the father of Elaine and Neil Schmidt attending grade 3 and 5 respectively at the school Principal Barry and yourself so commendably manage and organize. I noticed in the latest edition of the school’s newsletter that the school requires volunteers to accompany the children on science field trips.
I am quite interested in helping out the school and I think volunteering to help with the overseeing of the children and any other duties required is a great way to help pay back the school in kind for all that you and your team have done for my children and all the other students that attend the school.
I have previous volunteering experience, references attached, and though not my professional focus, I have a deep interest in science, and as you will also see from my references, I not only get along well with children, but I also have a knack of being able to interest them in abstract concepts should the need arise.
I look forward to your reply and hope to be of service to the interests of our local school.
Sincerely yours,
Sheldon Schmidt
