Pizza Party on us! The class with the most volunteers (pro rata) gets a Pizza party lunch courtesy of the PTA!
So when you volunteer to help the class or elsewhere at the gala pop your child’s name and class number on the volunteer form and drop it to the office and it’ll count toward their rooms tally.
