| VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE TOWN SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM: |
We are creating the lunch volunteer calendar for February - June, and we need your help! Volunteeering in the lunch room is a fun (and delicious) way to support the school, get to know the whole community and check in with your son(s) during the school day. Parents wishing to help serve lunch to our boys should email Iliza Abbe or Mary Farley and indicate which day(s) of the week work for your schedule and how many times a month you are available to help out. We hope you all had a joyful holiday and we look forward to seeing you at lunch!
