Volunteers needed for Family Fun Night!

This free family event includes fun activities for all ages--Knockerball, basketball, connect 4, table games, DJ/dancing, candy walk, face painting, a raffle with fun prizes and more! 

We need parent volunteers to keep everything running smoothly, so please join us! Shifts are just one hour! We're also accepting responsible Park/LT student volunteers. This is a fun way for students to volunteer together!

NOTE: Because this event is the Friday after winter break, it would be a huge help to have volunteers sign up now! THANK YOU!

1. Researching and evaluating options for updating the AV equipment used in the LRC and during assemblies or special events.
2. Exploring options like monitors or projectors for use by teachers in the classroom.
