It is an exciting day for our kids and a lot of fun for the whole school! We need lots of volunteers to make this happen, both during the day and to set up before and clean up after the event. Please join us by signing up with the Sign-Up Genius below.

On Olympic Day, you MUST SIGN IN at the office, and get a visitor/volunteer pass. Please go to the office first before proceeding to the back of the building to check in for your event. Thank you in advance for making this day special for our students!
