Drop-Off and Pick-Up Help
When: start or end of the school day
The Watch D.O.G.S. program seeks adult volunteers interested in keeping the drop-off and pickup of students safe and well supervised. Adult family members that can be available for just an hour at the beginning or end of the school day could provide a much needed presence on the school grounds, directing traffic, ensuring safety and keeping the lanes clear for the busses to get to the school on time. Please contact Bryan Broyles at torgeaux@hotmail.com with questions or interest.
8th Grade Continuation

The party is planned, funds raised, and put on by volunteers with the 8th Grade Continuation committee.

Tree Cookies/Tree Discs
When: anytime during the year
Each year, our sixth grade team needs about 250 round pieces of wood that are about 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. They are used as nametags during the week of Outdoor Lab, so they will need a small hole drilled near the edge. Please see the sample image for how they are used; please contact Ms. Sjogren or Ms. Buffington if you can help or have additional questions.
