Shift 3: 12:20PM to 1:55PM - Simmons, DiCarlo, Robertson


Wednesday, April 3rd

Shift 4: 1:50PM to 3:00PM - ML Franklin (1st), Bullock


Friday, April 5th

Shift 1: 9:10AM to 10:15AM (Livingstone, Forget)


Given the young ages of the students, it is critical we have at least five volunteers per shift.
