Parents,

We are going to have a Halloween party on the 31st from 12-1pm and would love some volunteers. We are going to have 4 stations (3 games and 1 craft). If you are willing to help, please see the signup link below. We need 4 people to head the different stations and then some helpers. You are welcome to do something you would like, or I can come up with something. If you signup and you have something in mind, please email me with the activity so we don’t duplicate anything. I will touch base with everyone once we have the signups filled. Setup for the party will be at 11:45.

Thank you so much for your help!
