Summer Gardening Help
Summer Gardening Help Needed!! Our butterfly and vegetable gardens need some special families to volunteer to maintain them this summer. It's very simple to help...volunteer for a one week period, and then stop by twice that week to pull some weeds. We have a watering system, so that's taken care of. All the supplies you'll need (gloves and shovels) will be in a box ready to go so you and your family can come at your convenience. If you can help, please click the link below and sign up! Thank you so much for volunteering! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa4ad22a2fb6-summer

Our Volunteer/Visitor program, Raptor, has began sending emails to some Level 2 Volunteers informing them that their Volunteer 2 approval will expire on July 6, 2018. It gives a link for them to reapply. It has been discovered that you can not reapply until you have expired. Therefore, any volunteer that receives a notification should wait until their expiration date is past to apply. Please note that this email comes from Raptor and does not mention Greenville County Schools.
- Please make sure to silence your cell phones while you are in a school zone and in the car line for the safety of our students and employees during morning and afternoon car lines. Also, please Drive slowly when coming through the lines.
