Weekly Update
October 15-19
Fall Festival
As you can imagine, it takes a lot to get an event like this to run smoothly. We need people to help work games and booths for our event. Hourly teachers will all have one hour of time cut the week leading to the fall festival. Any time worked at the festival will be paid normal hourly rate for hourly teachers (if you earn overtime, you will get paid overtime). There are two different times available to work - 9:00-11:15 am or 11:00 am-1:15 pm. At this point, we need people to work the later shift. If you are interested in working, please see Amanda.
All teachers who work will receive a raffle ticket for each hour worked. We will have some great raffle prizes specifically for teachers, including gift cards, Merryhill logo apparel, and other special treats.
Thank you in advance for your help in making this day a success. Please let me know if you have any questions.
