ways including All STAAR Saturday’s pizza and prizes, after school clubs
and field trips this year! The members volunteered to help out in the library,
Smencil sales, Popcorn Sales and at the Book Fairs. We are truly blessed to
have such a great group of parent volunteers at our campus! If you would like

to seeing you! Please check out flyer on Peachjar for complete details.
