In-Person Volunteer Opportunities
Team Up to Clean Up Peirce!
A message from parent Tracy Didriksen: “Hello all! Just a reminder and call-out for more folks to join the awesome playground clean-up crew! Literally, all it takes is 5 minutes - within that amount of time you will have made a measurable difference, gotten a good sweaty work-out and will feel great about your fantastic contribution to our school. Join anytime you can - we’re out there every Monday after drop-off (or Tuesday if school is closed on the Monday like this week). I’ll bring gloves and bags. A huge thanks to the amazing folks who came out last week, and all the weeks before that. Let’s keep teaming up to clean up!”
Things to Bring, Donate or Trade
Preschool Snowsuit Drive
We are collecting gently used snowsuits and other winter gear for our Peirce preschool classrooms so that all students can enjoy playing outside this winter. You can drop off snowsuits in sizes 3, 4, or 5 in the donation box in the entrance of the school.
