If you ordered a supply kit, please cross check the supplies you receive with the lists posted on our website. There may be a few items to purchase on your own. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Are you handy with tools or carpentry? Bob Callaway will be leading a team of volunteers to re-top five octagonal picnic tables on the patio outside the cafeteria on Saturday, August 14th from 9am-1pm. The volunteers will also assemble two portable basketball hoops and hang privacy screening along the fence. This is a great volunteering opportunity for dads or parents who can only come to campus on the weekends. We will have saws and saw horses, but ask volunteers to bring drills and basic tools. The Callaways will reach out to volunteers in advance, and the PSO will provide all lumber and hardware. Sign up here if you can help.
Lastly, the PSO needs help to clean out, organize and inventory storage bins on Monday, August 16th from 9:00am-noon. We will also be assembling recess kits. Please bring a label maker and pump for balls if you have them. Sign up here to help.
