Call for library volunteers
Opportunity to help out awaits….
Our small school relies on parents to help out on a daily basis. Every day (except for Intensives) we try to keep the library open for students to return or check out a book, do work, use the computers or eat lunch at the round tables. Please consider volunteering your time during the Steller Lunch period, from 11:40 until 12:40, or 11:30 to 12:30 or so.
If you are able to help out, please email: hall-jones_jennifer@asdk12.org or call/text 229-O499. Thank you-many hands make light work!
It is going to be a great year!
Jennifer Hall Jones, Library Assistant
