FAMILY VOLUNTEER SERVICE NIGHT
Family Volunteer Service Night is Thursday, February 16th from 6-7pm in Holleran Hall (school cafeteria). We will be assembling snack bags to be passed out to SPPS students experiencing homelessness through Project REACH. We have a goal of assembling 1000 bags in an hour!!! We could also use sturdy boxes to pack our assembled bags in to transport to Project REACH. They can be brought to the event. Most importantly, we need volunteers to help run this event - shifts are an hour long starting at 5:30 or 6:30pm. Click here to sign up.
If you aren't able to take a volunteer shift, but would like to come help make bags, you do not need to sign up ahead of time - we hope to see you there to help out our fellow SPPS families!
FREE FAMILY FUN NIGHT: DANCE PARTY!
