How You Can Help

There's a lot going on in 3rd grade! Students produce more than I can keep up with year round. There are weekly & monthly routines as well as special activities from time to time which require parent support. I have a Volunteer Basket in the room for those who want to walk in & help with whatever is in the basket that needs attention. I love and encourage parent support!
Please consider what you can do & let me know.
