Hello Parents & Friends,
Our Tiger League basketball players and cheerleaders had a great first weekend last Saturday, and what would make next week even more exciting would be some additional help from you!
Volunteers will help with ticket taking and working the concession stand for two hour and fifteen minute shifts. Please register to volunteer here. This is our first real opportunity to assist our students and take something off our teachers' plates. I'd love to have these spots filled!
