❄❄ Hynes Winter Party Volunteer Sign-up is OPEN! ❄❄

We are looking for parent volunteers to help with the Winter Classroom parties!

Event details:

  • Parties will take place on Friday, December 22 from 1:30-2:30 pm. (Except for morning PK, please note the time and plan to be there 15 minutes before the party start time)
  • Volunteers will sign up in advance. For each classroom we we will need 3 volunteers.
  • Instructions and materials for all activities will be provided. All volunteers will assist with the activities in the classroom.
  • All volunteers will need to be scanned and checked in the system and badges issued in the office. If you have not gone through this process previously this school year, it is requested that you do this ahead of time before the day of the party. This can be done anytime during the school day from now until December 22. If you are unable to do this, please come to school by 12:45 on the day of the party so that the office can scan you. Please bring your drivers license/ID. 
  • All other volunteers who have gone through the screening process this school year can arrive at the school between 1:15-1:30.

Questions? Please reach out to Carmen Gray, VP of Classroom Events (leilapurple04@gmail.com) or ptagolf67@gmail.com.
