Parents!


Our school is hosting the Giving Market, a holiday shop that inspires generosity from December 4th to December 12th. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please consider volunteering for a 1 HOUR time slot or more.


All we need is for you to show up, smile, and help students shop. It’s easy and a ton of fun! Thanks in advance.


All volunteers will receive a FREE gift and $5 to spend at the Giving Market as a thank you for your time. Plus, your generosity will serve as a great example to your child that giving is fun!
