Please consider volunteering during recess on Wednesdays during Walking Club season. For tomorrow the volunteer needs have been met, but there are still openings for the following three weeks. Volunteers arrive at 11:30, sign in at the front office, and pick up a guest sticker to wear. Instructions, grade assignments, door location, and “Cat Cash” to distribute to walkers are given out in the front hallway. You will be done at 12:20. Please use this link to sign up – we can’t do this without your help!
