Looking for a Crafty Volunteer

The PTO auction will be held in March and they would like each class to come up with craft that

can be auctioned off. I am looking for a volunteer that would be willing to plan the

activity, work with the PTO for supplies, and then come into the classroom and lead the craft. I can assist you in the

classroom. If you are interested please e-mail me! :)

Happy Birthday!
