Volunteers Still Needed!

Meanwhile we need your help! Without parent volunteers, this book fair will not work. So, please sign up to either volunteer for a shift, help set up or break down, or send in snacks for our volunteers.

We are especially looking for volunteers to help out during our evening slots while Night of Expressions is happening. We are typically very busy during that time. Parents of 4th graders could help out during our 5th grade Night of Expressions, and vice-versa!
