Hello!
Gifts are pouring in and the PTO is looking for elves to help organize them for Santa’s Workshop this year! We’ll be meeting Tuesday (December 6), Wednesday (December 7), and Thursday (December 8) starting at 4:00PM and welcome anyone that is interested in helping! Come as you’re able and stay for as long as you can. We’ll be working in an empty classroom and will post the location outside the elementary school office. If you plan to come please sign up using the link below so we have an idea of how many elves to expect!
We’re also looking for elves to help our shoppers on the day of the event! This is such a fun opportunity to see the students excited to choose just the right gifts for the friends and family members on their lists. Volunteers are asked to commit to a four hour shift and are welcome to eat lunch with their children while they’re here. Please sign up using the link below so we know how much help to expect.
