Recess Bags

PTCC has generously refreshed our recess bags. Before we can deploy them, we have LOTS of footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, and playground balls to inflate. Once they’re all inflated, we’ll need to sort the new equipment into 24 bags. We’re looking for volunteers to do so. If you’re able to help out, please email Ms. Blunt. You can volunteer at any point between 7:25am and 3:25pm this week or next week. Thank you.
