Halfway to Halloween Dance

Our April BOOLS - Halfway to Halloween Dance is coming up in less than two weeks, and the kids are really looking forward to it!

Right now, we don’t have nearly enough volunteers to run the event. These kinds of nights only happen if parents can pitch in a little.

If we can’t fill the spots, we’ll unfortunately have to cancel the dance.

If you’re able to help out for even a short shift, it would make a huge difference. Even a bit of time goes a long way!

Could you spare a small chunk of time on Thursday, April 23 and fill a volunteer position? Our annual Halloween dance has been a staple in our school, please help make it happen again for our kids! Click here to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0E4AAFAD2CA7F49-62635674-hawkwood
