Safety Patrol Spring Semester

We are blessed to have so many middle school students volunteer to help with the morning carpool this fall! With their help, they sped up the drop-off process and made sure our younger students exited safely to the sidewalk!  

We are looking for responsible, caring middle school students who want to volunteer for the spring semester! If your student participated in the fall and would like to continue to help in the spring, please sign/return the permission slip they bring home. If your child is interested in helping this spring and/or needs service hours, please contact Ms. Mejia for a permission slip so they can be added to the list!
