Volunteers Needed
The teachers and staff need volunteers to cover their classrooms/offices during their Thanksgiving luncheon on Nov. 20. The luncheon starts at 1 but they are asking that the volunteers arrive at 12:50 to report to the classrooms and receive instructions.
The teachers will have planned activities for the kids, so it should be fun and fairly simple.
