Please consider volunteering at the upcoming annual Halloween Party. We need help in the following areas:
**SET UP – This takes place on 10/24 starting at approximately 4:00 pm. This involves moving all decorations from the Pre K building to the gym, setting up the decorations, games, etc. Children are more than welcome to be there when we set up. They play while we work and often help, too.
**THE PARTY – For the event itself, we need parents in the Cafeteria to serve snacks and drinks, in the breezeway to help oversee the craft area, and in the gym to help with greeting everyone, collecting tickets, etc.
**CLEAN UP – This involves taking down all decorations and returning them to the Pre K building, wiping down tables, sweeping the gym/cafateria, etc. Just like with set up – the more people we have, the faster it goes.
If you able to help for one or more of the above, please contact Darcy Donnelly at ddonnell@travelers.com. And…. THANK YOU! The more people we have, the more successful our event will be.
