JSA Volunteer Opportunities
January 2020
Volunteers Needed....
*“Tidying Up” Spring Cleaning Support
Need: 2-4 adults on Monday, January 20th 9:00am-2:30pm
JSA supports a large number of students each year with winter coats, hats, gloves and boots. We also assist learners who may find themselves in need of a clean pair of pants or shirts during the day. JSA thanks the families who donate items that their child may have outgrown for these needs. Our storage space is limited however and as we move into 2nd Semester, that space is in need of a clean out and re-organization. Is making a space tidy something that brings you joy? If so, it would bring us joy to have the volunteer assistance! Please contact Ms. Conyers, aconyers@cr.k12.ia.us or 319-558-2174 to join a few staff for the organization fun!
