Volunteers Needed for Field Day
As the year is coming to an end, the 7th grade team is planning a Field Day to celebrate an outstanding year!

Any time you can give us will be greatly appreciated. Come and enjoy the young people, the fresh air, and sunshine. Thanks for any time you can spare. If you can volunteer an hour or the whole day please contact Mrs. Norton!
