Field Day - Volunteers Needed
In less than two weeks on Friday, May 24, we will hold our 16th Field Day. This day is always a fun day for the students and faculty. It's success has everything to do with those who help run the activities for the day. We could really use some more volunteers!
Volunteers will be assigned to either an activity, which they will run, or the drink/break area. Students are already familiar with most of the activities (or they are simple activities), so basic guidance is all that's needed.
If you would like to be a part of this day, please complete the online form provided at the link the below.
Thank you for your consideration,
Mr. Gross
