WILDCAT WATCH VOLUNTEER!!!
We need volunteers each morning for school drop off in the front of the school. This will involve helping/closing car doors, greeting students, and making sure the car line runs smoothly. We will do sign ups each month. If you have extra time after 8am, it would be great to look for coats/etc.. on the playground and around school, and take them to lost and found. Trash pickup outside is also an option.
The Wildcat Watch vest will be in the office for you to pick up before your shift starts. Thanks for your help and please reserve your time slot below! (Volunteers are welcome to pick multiple time slots per month!!!)
