Parent Volunteers Needed to Help With Textbook Returns
Hi Parents and Families,

We are looking for 8-12 parents each day from Monday, May 23rd through Thursday, May 26th. You will help students navigate to the right place to return books. You may be asked to load carts and bring books to the book room. Some light lifting might occur, but mostly a lot of walking. A great way to get an hour of steps in! 


We need the most help in the afternoon but could benefit from having some morning volunteer help, too. Thank you in advance for your help and support!
