Kindergarten Helpers
Parents, grandparents and other caregivers are welcome to help in the kindergarten classrooms. Help is needed filling folders with homework, cleaning snack tables, helping with art centers, reading aloud to the class, assisting with bulletin boards, etc. Those who wish to become room parents will organize volunteers and assist with class parties.
