- Magazine Drive volunteers - prize day volunteers needed. This position requires you to be at school during lunch hours on specific days.

Van Duzer Foundation Fundraiser for the Irish Family
| On Wednesday, August 11 from 4-10 p.m., Big Apple Pizza and the Van Duzer Foundation will host a fundraiser for Ben Irish. Ben, who is now 9-years-old, is the grandson one of our kindergarten aides, Mrs. Doris Zrallack.
At age 3, Ben began a two year battle with cancer and recently underwent open heart surgery to repair his coronary artery. Ben is recovering now, but his family has been devastated financially due to the exorbitant medical bills and associated costs. The Van Duzer Foundation is donating 100% of all the sales, tips and donations during the event.
Join Big Apple Pizza at 2311 South 35th Street in Fort Pierce on Wednesday, August 11 from 4-10 p.m. to celebrate with music, food and family fun. Wear your green and become part of Team Ben and the "Fighting Irish!"For more information, visit www.thevanduzerfoundation.org.
