PTO Volunteer Opportunity

Hello Long Cane Elementary family!! My name is Cindy Huff and I am the new volunteer coordinator. PTO has 3 events coming up over the next few weeks of school and we are looking for volunteers. Please look over the following dates, if there are any dates that you are able to help with please email me at lce.pto@gmail.com. You may think an hour is not enough time to volunteer but we are grateful with any amount of time you have to help out. If you can help with all 3 events that is wonderful.

May 4 - CRCT popcorn popping. This is when we do a bag for ever child in the school and also for the teachers. This is a treat for finishing the test! It would be an all day thing. We are also going to try to frameartwork that were pre-ordered on this day as well. That is if we have enough folks to help!

May 8 - Art show! This will begin at 2 :30. We need people there to help parents find artwork. We will pass out the ones already framed and frame the ones that will be purchased on site. This will last to 6 pm.

May 10- Teacher Luncheon. We will need people to come in at 10:30 to monitor the lunchroom and another group to serve the food to the teachers. At this luncheon we willbe serving the teachers lunch from Ciscos.
