Library Volunteers Needed

One of the busiest times at the Mt. Gap lower library/media center is first thing in the morning; unfortunately, there are no student workers then! Parent volunteers would be a tremendous help.  Can you commit to one morning every other week to help kids check in/check out books, shelve books, and generally keep things organized? Slots are biweekly from 7:45 A.M. - 9:00 A.M.  If you can work weekly, just enter your name in both sets of slots.  Many thanks!!

A message from the cafeteria:
Parents, please check your student's lunch account! There are several students with balances that need to be paid. Students will only be able to charge lunch without payment two times. 

To check your student's account, go to  www.ezschoolpay.com
 
If you do not have an account, it is easy to create one. You can view and pay balances directly from the website.
