Reading Rockstars Sign Up (March)
We have had an exciting response to our request for Reading Rockstars. This is a wonderful volunteer opportunity where parents and trusted community members can make a lasting impact on our students' reading skills, helping them build the confidence and abilities that will set them up for academic success and lifelong learning.
As a Reading Rockstar, you will commit to volunteering for 4 consecutive weeks, dedicating 30-60 minutes each week to work one-on-one or with small groups of students in a classroom setting. While it may be possible to work with your own child or their class, this is not guaranteed. Your involvement will play a crucial role in supporting our students as they develop strong reading habits that will benefit them for years to come. Thank you for joining us in fostering a love of reading!
We still have a few spots open - please click here to sign up to be a Reading Rockstar in March.

Art Helpers Needed: Few Remaining Spots
In preparation for our Spring Auction, our Art Teacher, Sherrie Stewart, will be guiding our students in creating collaborative art projects that will be featured in our silent auction. These projects will be completed during class time, alongside their regular art curriculum and individual assignments.
To make this possible, we are seeking a volunteer to lend an extra set of hands and eyes to help Sherri manage these wonderful projects. No art experience is necessary—just a willingness to assist and enjoy the creative process with our students!
If you’re interested in volunteering, please visit the Sign-Up Genius to secure your spot.
Thank you for helping make our Spring Social a success—we couldn’t do it without your support!
