Parent Safety Patrol Volunteers Needed
PTA is looking for a team of parents to help with the Safety Patrol program this year. The team will train 5th grade volunteers, create schedules for student and parent volunteers, and assist in the crosswalks at 27th and Elmore. Safety Patrol is a 5th grade tradition and a huge help making the start of our day safe and smooth, but we need parent volunteers to facilitate the program. To volunteer, email vicepresidents
