After School Cookie Sales a Big Hit with Students!

It is time once again to fire up the ovens, put on the hot mitts and serve up those warm and delicious Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. Melanie Oliver needs volunteers to fill her spring schedule at the secondary campus. Call her today, 832-334-2977, and volunteer for a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon. Bring a friend and have some fun! The kids really love those mouth watering, soft and gooey, freshly baked cookies.

The PTO is looking for volunteers to serve on the Secondary PTO Board for the 2011-12 school year. Positions ranging from President to Grade Level Reps to Committee Chairmen and Committee Members need to be filled by March 31 for Board approval in April.
