Looking for a Crafty Volunteer
The PTO auction will be held in March and they would like each class to come up with craft that
can be auctioned off. I am looking for a volunteer that would be willing to plan the
activity, work with the PTO for supplies, and then come into the classroom and lead the craft. I can assist you in the
classroom. If you are interested please e-mail me! :)
Happy Birthday!
