St. Joan of Arc School

We need to put out a call for more volunteers as there are several rooms that have a lot of open dates. Please consider volunteering.
The new hot lunch volunteer schedule is up on the blog.  Please check to see when you are scheduled.  If something comes up that you are unable to make a date you are scheduled for please make every effort to find a replacement.  We still have several classes in need of volunteers for certain dates.  If your child receives hot lunch and you haven’t already signed up to volunteer please consider filling at least one of these dates.  The open dates by homeroom are as follows:

K2: Feb. 25; April 29

K3: April 29

3B: March 11; April 8, 29; May 6, 20

4A: April 8, 29; May 6, 13, 20

4B: April 15, 29

6B: March 25

7B: Feb. 18; April 15, 22, 29

7C: April 29

8A: Feb. 25

8C: Feb. 4, 18, 25; April 22

Thank you for your help.
