Volunteer Needs & Event FYIs
Greetings!


The Parents' Association has a lot happening this month! Mark your calendars and please sign up to volunteer if your schedule permits!

Our heartfelt thanks to those who have already signed up!
Friday, February 7th
Middle School Dance
The 6th-8th graders are going to have a fantastic night at the Middle School Dance on Friday. We do need a few more volunteers for setup and cleanup in order to make the night as successful as possible!

Setup is from 3:15pm - 5:30pm and Cleanup is scheduled from 9pm-10pm. You don't have to be a middle school parent to volunteer! This is a great opportunity for lower school parents to get a sneak peek into a future event!
Wednesday, February 12th
Valentine's Day Cupcake Decorating
Valentine's Day Cupcake decoration will take place on Wednesday, February 12th during lunch.

We need volunteers to bring unfrosted, nut-free cupcakes and drop them off in the kitchen on Wednesday morning. We also need photography volunteers during the event.
