WE STILL NEED VOLUNTEERS!

Mrs. Flora is putting the final details together for an amazing Family Field Day on Friday, May 19. She is in need of a few volunteers to run stations for her. These volunteers are so important as they help make sure we have enough stations to keep everyone busy.

If you or another family member (VIRTUS compliant) are available, please reach out to Mrs. Flora at aflora@stcindependence.org by Tuesday, May 16 at noon.

Mrs. Flora is also in need of a few items to get field day ready. Below is a list of items that you may already have. If you can help, please let her know.
