Volunteers:  Thanks to everyone who has agreed to help out weekly in the classroom!  We won't begin weekly volunteering until mid September, when the board approves all volunteers.  I will keep you posted on that.  Remember, you can not volunteer without being board approved.  

Math Festival:  We are looking for some parents to help during the day of the Math Festival.  You can volunteer the whole day or part of the day (7:40-10:30 or 10:15-1:45).  Please let me know if this is something you are interested in.
