SENIOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS!
The Rolling Rally and Party in the Park is almost here and there are a few things we need you to do.
REGISTRATION: Parent and Student Registration must be completed to attend the Party in the Park. We can’t accept registration at the door. Please make sure both are completed ASAP. Your senior must complete the form through their school email address.
VOLUNTEER:
We still need help with set-up, clean-up and trucks for the Party in the Park. As a senior parent/guardian, you can’t chaperone, but we can use your help before and after if you are available. It takes many volunteers to make the event successful.

If you haven’t had a chance to donate, you can do so HERE. Your donation helps us pay for the food, entertainment, decorations, gifts and more for the Rolling Rally and Party in the Park.
