Every classroom in the school needs at least one class rep. There are four classes that have no one in this position yet. They are: Seabrooke, Smith, Niedjalski and Keeb. If you have a child in one of these classes, PLEASE consider being a class rep. We need class reps to coordinate helpers for Fun Lunch this Friday to help distribute food. These special events and activities can only happen if we have enough parents to help facilitate. Please email lepacvolunteers@gmail.com to sign up for this role.
If you are unsure if your class has helpers signed up for Fun Lunch yet or not, please check with your class rep or just show up and help! Volunteers meet at the LEPAC Kitchen on Friday at 11:20 and it takes about an hour, including clean-up.
The Haunted Circus Event needs more volunteers! This is going to be a spectacular event and we need a lot of people to make it happen. Older siblings are welcome to help out as well. Please email lepacvolunteers@gmail.com to volunteer.
