GUIDELINES REGARDING CHILDREN AND VOLUNTEERING AT PTA SPONSORED EVENTS!!
Please observe the following policy in regards to volunteering and children.

While the PTA thanks everyone for volunteering and want everyone to volunteer, if you have children around you are not able to devote your time to helping at the event. PTA hopes to have lots of volunteers and understands that not every parent has the ability to leave children at home while they come to the school. For those families, we encourage at home activities or the family events.
