Sign up to decorate a classroom door on Sunday afternoon, May 3 between 4-6pm. Everyone is welcome but we're asking for sign-ups to make sure we don't miss a door. PTA is providing a decorations for the faculty lounge and entryway to the school. Chalk is welcome, but please do not chalk any brick on campus. Please do not use duct tape or anything that may cause paint to peel. We heard that alien tape works well. Feel free to decorate anyway you want! If you have an idea you’d like to share that could help others, please send it to us. We will be adding ideas/examples to this folder for inspiration and resources:TAW Olympic Resources 

DECORATE CAMPUS CLICK TO SIGN UP


Sign up to extend a teacher's lunch break on Thursday, May 7. You must have a valid HCPS volunteer form on file. Volunteers will escort classes back to their classroom or to their next activity and read or have quiet time for about 20 minutes. You may volunteer for a class even if you don't have a child in that class! We need as many volunteers as we can get! We included a link for TWO sign-ups per class, hoping to get at least 1 for each. 

EXTENDED LUNCH VOLUNTEERS SIGN UP


Help During the School Day to Set Up/Clean Up daily- this keeps the burden off the front office staff from dealing with the treats coming in and out.
