Volunteer to be a Grade Level Rep |
|
||
The Parents' Association has changed the format of room reps. Instead of having volunteers from each classroom, there will be six representatives for each grade. Volunteers will have specific jobs among the six reps. Parents may sign up to be a grade rep on Registration Day on a sheet beside the classroom door.
To learn more about the responsibilities of the grade reps, please read the guidelinesposted on the PA webpage. For more information, contact Lucy Sawrie at [email protected]. |

Library Volunteers and Birthday Books |
|
||
The library is seeking volunteers to help during the week and during the Book Fair, which will be in December. For more information, see the Library Volunteer form on the Registration Day webpage.
Another way to support the library is to donate books through the Birthday Book Club. With a $20 donation, books are given to the library in honor of your child. He or she will pick out the book and will be the first to check it out. Please send $20 and the Birthday Book Club form to the library or office by October 1.
For questions about volunteering or the birthday book club, please contact librarian Elizabeth Oakes at [email protected]. |
