Dear Parents,

We're excited to announce our end-of-school upcoming Super Games event on Thursday, May 23rd during the school day. This is an action-packed day filled with fun and friendly competition for our students. Super Games is not only a fantastic opportunity for our children to engage in physical activity and teamwork but also a chance for our students to come together and celebrate the end of the year.

To make Super Games a success, we are in need of enthusiastic volunteers like you! Whether you can spare an hour or the entire day, your support will make a world of difference in ensuring that our event runs smoothly and that all our students have a memorable and fun experience.

Volunteer opportunities include running a station, keeping kids safe, helping with set-up and clean-up, monitoring lunch duty, and more. If you're interested in lending a hand, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E044AA5A922A4FC1-49534192-2024. We ask that you please commit to a full shift schedule to make sure the day runs as smoothly as possible. Please do not request a partial shift.

This year, it's important to note that due to safety considerations, Super Games will not be open to all parents as it has been in the past. We are asking that only parent volunteers attend. Volunteers will be asked to check in at the front office to receive a badge for their shift and check out upon leaving. Thank you for your understanding.

We appreciate your ongoing support and commitment to our school community. We look forward to celebrating the end of the year with Super Games and your children!
