After-school clubs — volunteer drivers needed!
New after-school clubs start Monday, February 17. There are still several students without a ride home from clubs. If you are able to take home a student, please contact oliviaghowe@gmail.com or 515-450-1845 as soon as possible. Thank you to our volunteer drivers who make clubs possible for our students who would not otherwise be able to engage in clubs. Let's work together to ensure each student is able to participate in a club!
