Winter Party Sign Ups- 4 parents/classroom- December 21st 2:45-3:15
It is time to sign up to help at our Winter Parties in the classrooms. Students will have time from 2:45-3:15 to play winter themed games and have a snack. We are hoping to have two parents help with games and two parents helping with snack. The families will be providing the games and snacks. We ask that the parents attend the party to help out with the games and snacks. Please add in the comments box what game or snack you are bringing (you can sign up without knowing and go back to fill this in later). This will ensure that both families don't bring the same game or bring the same snack. Only parents who are signed up as helpers will be in attendance at the classroom party. Parents will arrive at 2:15 to set up the classroom for the party (students will all be in the gym for an activity 2-2:45). Thanks in advance for your help making this day fun and memorable for our students!
