Finding Nemo KIDS: Volunteer Links

We are so excited for casting nights 12/11 and 12/13 at 6:15pm. Please enter the school through the SW doors (closest to the playground) and meet in the Cafeteria. Parents will then move to the library for the parent meeting on Monday, 12/11/23 (approximately 45 minutes). 
 
Rehearsal/casting chaperone volunteer sign ups: 
 
If you are not currently cleared to volunteer through SPS, please complete that process now, as we will be asking all parent/guardians to volunteer at least 5-10 hours to help put on this production. We ask that everyone plan to volunteer the week of the play as well (either for dress rehearsals or for the actual production (for the cast that your child is not part of).
