FIRST SCHOOL STORE OF THE YEAR

We are looking for volunteers for the School Store being held this Friday, Sept 21. We are still in need of volunteers to help during the 5th and 4th grade lunches. The school store is a great opportunity to see your child and their friends during lunch. It's also really fun to help the children shop!

Here are the school store times :
School Store setup: 11:00am - 11:45am
3rd Grade: 11:50am - 12:30pm
5th Grade: 12:30pm - 1:10pm
4th Grade: 1:10pm - 1:50pm

Consider helping out for a lunch period or a time that works best for you. We appreciate any time you can give! Please email Lynn Gutkin ( lynngutkin@icloud.com ) if you can come in. We cannot run the school without the help of our Sussex Avenue community.
