We are working with a new yearbook vendor this year and have some great enhancements we’ll share with you soon. For now, let’s focus on the first day.

We know you’ll have those cameras rolling on the first day of school. So, after you snap away and say goodbye, please share your shots with us for the yearbook. Here’s instructions for uploading them. You’ll also see information about ordering yearbooks….please skip that part for now as we work out some details with the new vendor.

Wednesday, October 3 is Walk to School day! So leave the minivan in the driveway and lace up those Sketchers. We need volunteers at each door to greet our walkers. We also need someone to coordinate our special thank you to our crossing guards. Please sign up if you can help: Fall Volunteers.

We know it’s still summer. And, we don’t want to rush pumpkin spice season either. But it is time to start to get a team together to plan for our big Trick or Trunk event on Friday, October 26. If you can lend a hand, please sign up here. Thanks!

Here’s a fun job we’re looking to fill before the school year starts: Chief Pretzeler and team. The head Pretzel Planner(s) will take care of pretzel sale pick-up and round up a handful of pretzel sale pushers monthly. It’s one of our most popular fundraisers! And it’s not a big time commitment.

Looking to fill the task soon, so sign up today. You can pick up the pretzels yourself, or rotate that job among your volunteers, we just need a point person to make sure it gets done. Thanks! Volunteer form
