Lunch Volunteers Needed

We need lunch volunteers to cover empty spots for the remainder of the school year. We would love for 9th-grade parents to volunteer and get involved. We will lose our Senior parents at the end of the year and there is no time like the present to get new families to volunteer and get trained. This is a great opportunity to gain service hours and to be able to see your student(s). It's a fun and easy way to also get to know other parents. Please click the button below and see what spaces we have available. Your presence will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance for your help and for supporting our Brashier Bengals!
