With the completion of our bathrooms many small projects should begin. Some vary in the form of painting of hallways or rooms to helping with the ceiling tiles. I would like to get a group together to begin planning what can be done to keep our school clean and presentable. |
As you can see, our needs are many and varied. Your child's homeroom teacher will also ask for helpers to cut and paste, read to the students, be a guest speaker, etc. You will receive this information during the early days of September.
