Please see the following link if you would like to participate.

• If you are dropping off in the morning, please remember that you may also drop students off in the front of the building. The line on 13th gets longer throughout the winter, so this is always an option. Likewise, when you do not see any other Munhall staff outside please drive to the front of the building to drop your child off. We typically go in right around 8:00. The "why" for this is safety. Thank you for your understanding.
• When parking on 13th, please be mindful of all the cars that need to park and pick up kids. I know it can get tight with all the cars but all cars leave at different times and it always works out perfectly.
