by Newsletter Comment Closed

Can you believe it’s almost April?!? Time to help your kiddos get their volunteer hours in! We need at least 4 adults and 8 students for our spring Love Your Neighbor Walk THIS SATURDAY shortly after the incoming freshman choice sheet event. (Hey-if you’ll be there with your 8th grader, model Raptor spirit and bring them along!) We do these “goodwill walks” a couple of times a year to keep in touch with our neighbors and let them know they’re appreciated. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the fall walk!

The event will be based out of the PTSA/PFLASA portable on Arthur Stiles (near the tennis courts). We’re still nailing down the timing, but the event is TENTATIVELY set for 12:30-2:30 pm. We’ll update the signup ASAP with the exact time. Thank you!
