VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Parent volunteers are the magic that makes all PTA programs possible. Sign up to help support this fun event. Planning is already underway and it’s time to gather a solid group of 5-7 volunteers to move the event to the next level. We are a fun, organized group and the event is a blast. Some of the places where we are looking for volunteers to help include:

  • Securing and supporting Main Stage performers.
  • Organizing signups and support for family educational booths.
  • Decorating!
  • Passport/scavenger hunt and community art activity coordination.
  • SSL volunteers coordination.
