PSO Volunteers Needed
The PSO Used Uniform Team would like extra hands on Sunday, August 1st from 1:00-3:00pm to staff the Used Uniform Store at New Family Orientation (the event begins at noon, but the Store opens later). Two volunteers are needed to answer uniform questions, help shoppers find sizes and check out, and re-hang and re-fold clothes as needed to clean up. Help us give our new families a warm Monarch welcome!
We would also like 6 volunteers to help the PSO leadership team clean up, organize and inventory our storage space and bins on Monday, August 16th from 9:00am-12:00pm. In addition, we will also assemble recess kits that the PSO purchased for 4th-8th grade homerooms. Please bring a label maker and pump for balls if you have one. We will meet in the school lobby at 9:00am.
Click here to sign up for either volunteer opportunity. We will ask for more volunteers in the newsletter over the next few weeks for help at the back to school picnic on Sunday, August 15th, teacher breakfast on Tuesday, August 17th, and some outdoor work as well. Stay tuned!
