​

We depend on parent volunteers to help ensure the success of this event. Many many volunteers are needed to teach the activities, help with the organization and planning of the event, assist presenters in the classroom and help at the luncheon that follows the presentations.
We cannot organize and run this event without YOU!

Volunteers are also needed on party days to help with check-in and dismissal.
There is a limit of 3 volunteers per classroom for each party.
These 3 volunteers will work together to provide fun party games and activities (but no food or beverages) for their selected class.
NEW THIS YEAR: the PTA now has a supply bin of party items available to be shared! Details and process for use of party supplies will be sent to volunteers in October. The parties are always a blast for students. You can plan games and activities without spending a dime!
