Snacks for Staff
It's time to show our appreciation for the dedicated educators and staff who nurture our children's growth every day! We're looking for volunteers to participate in our "Snacks for Staff" program.
Here's how you can get involved:
- Sign Up: Choose a day that works for you to bring in snacks for our hardworking teachers and staff. It could be cookies, fruit, or even a savory treat—anything to brighten their day. Sign up individually or team up with your friends!
- Share the Love: Your thoughtful gesture will not only boost their energy but also remind them how much they mean to our school community.
- Easy Scheduling: We've made it easy to sign up for dates that fit your schedule. Simply visit the sign up sheet and pick a slot that works for you.

Volunteer to help out at our rescheduled Back-to-School Movie Night. Shifts are 30 min to 1 hour so you will still have time to spend with family during the event.
