5. 8th GRADE FAMILIES!! This Saturday, October 6 is our fall Family Movie Night and Taco Dinner.  We need your help to make it a successful event so a portion of proceeds can be donated to the 8th grade graduation fund! We are looking for 8th grade students and their parents to assist with concessions in four areas:

1. Setting Up

2. Making Popcorn (we have a commercial grade popcorn maker)

3. Selling Concessions

4. Breaking Down/Cleaning Up

Students who assist will receive service hours. All supplies and items will be provided. Essentially, we're looking for people to "man the booth," EASY PEASY! Please SIGN UP ASAP using this SIGN-UP If all slots are taken, don't worry there will be other simple and fun ways to volunteer to earn money for the grad fund!
