PTO Bookfair
Thank you to all of you who have signed up to help with the book fair!!!
If you aren't familiar with the book fair, let me explain what the volunteers do. The volunteers help the students/parents/guardians find the books they want, run the cash register, assist customers with the sucker tree and straighten merchandise. It's not hard work. Each shift is only 2.5 hours (we are flexible).
We also need help with the set up and take down of the fair. This consists of putting up signs, taping up decorations, setting up book tables or taking all this down. Not hard work and goes quick with lots of help!
Did I mention your kids will get a kick out of seeing you there?!?
Come join us! If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Jess Mullen at jlm010895@gmail.com or 651-260-2475.
