Volunteers Needed

This year we are very excited to announce a new way to coordinate our parent volunteers. We are using Volunteer Spot. This will make it easier for everyone to volunteer. With this we hope to have everyone (dads, moms, grandparents) help out that can! To find all opportunities available now please click on this link: http://vols.pt/KDNH47 

We are so grateful for all the support so far this year!  Thank you!
