VOLUNTEER OPENINGS
This week we need volunteers for both Friday and Saturday. Friday night is Senior Night and our senior parents will be taking the night off from their volunteer shifts to be with their students. Therefore, we need extra help in filling our volunteer openings including some extra bakers who want to make some yummy treats for our pre-game senior family event.
