excited about it! However, to put on these events for the kids, we do need our
volunteers! If you are able to help out that morning, please send a note or
call the office. So far, we have no volunteers.

Environment – Virtus registration”. All adults volunteering in ANY capacity in
our school, whether it be classroom parties, activity days, field trips,
coaching, driving MUST attend Virtus training. Basically, every parent in our
school needs to be Virtus certified, as well as any relatives that help out.
