The Ball Room desperately needs your help!
The AB PTA is looking for a few volunteers to rotate during lunch recess on Tues. and Thurs. (except when raining.) If you are interested in giving about an hour of time (11:25-12:15) to make our wonderful Adobe Bluffs kids happy, we could use your help. The job is EASY and the reward is seeing the kids’ smiles. What ever time you could give would be awesome...first Tues., every other Thurs.., you decide.
Please consider helping. I know I won't be able to be there EVERY Tues/Thurs and the kids really, really get excited to use the equipment. Especially the non-sports kids, they love the board games! Please contact Jaime Kaesbauer at jaime_kaesbauer@hotmail.com. I will explain details further to those interested.
