Are You Interested in After School Work?
The Fitness & Health Department is seeking teachers, paraprofessionals and teaching assistants who are interested in working in the Intramural Program at Wellesley Middle School. Responsibilities include running sessions and after school activities for a stipend. We are specifically interested in securing a Yoga Instructor to start immediately. Specific assignments and activities vary and are organized by the WMS Intramural Coordinator. We are also seeking qualified faculty and staff members to monitor the High School Fitness Center, before and after school. A background in Exercise Science, Human Physiology or Personal Training is preferred.
If you are interested in either of these positions, please email Joanne Grant, Director of Fitness and Health, at: GrantJ@wellesleyps.org. I
