From the Desk of Mrs. Schumann Nov. 8-15
Dear 8th Grade Parents and students,
Does your 8th grader need volunteer hours? Panther Parents would like some help from our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students with their upcoming event, the PJ Party. Volunteers would be helping with running the gym games, library activities, making sure families get from activity to activity and putting together snack bags.
- PJ Party Timeline (Friday November 15th) 5:30-7:00 PM.
- Please give it some thought and send an email to pantherparents@splgrafton.org, attention Stefanie Mielke.
