Volunteers for Monday lunch needed!

Calling all Monday lunch volunteers! We have 200 orders for Monday lunch, but only have a few parents to help serve. If you ordered lunch for your child, please consider taking one Monday between now and June to help out. We’ve created a new, streamlined serving process to make this one of the easiest volunteer opportunities for the PTO. Your help is extremely appreciated!

Pizza Lunch Volunteer Opportunity

We ask that you also consider volunteering to serve pizza lunch.  The obligation only takes about 20 minutes and it helps the lunch run smoothly if parents who know the kids are the ones serving them.  Please sign up for a session or 2!
