Sign up to Volunteer for Field Day!
Field day is Friday June 12th and we need a LOT of volunteers to make it work! Find a fun activity to help with here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0448AAAB2CA7FCC61-63717937-field
Note: We will especially need help from people who have a truck or a van who can help schlep games and equipment to the park in the morning, and back to the school in the afternoon.
Also, keep an eye on your teachers’ emails for requests to help walk kids down to the park!
