In addition, we will be cleaning out, organizing and inventorying the PSO storage closets and bins and making recess kits on Monday, August 16th from 9:00am-12:00pm. Please bring a label maker and/or air pump for balls if you have them. Sign up here if you can help. We will meet in the school lobby.
Helping hands are needed for set up and clean up at the Back to School Picnic on Sunday, August 15th, beginning at 2:30pm for set up, and approximately 7:00pm for clean up.
