The Fall Fun Fair, Kids Market, Family Game Night, Talent Show, Silent Auction, and Scholastic Book Fair are just a few examples of the many ways you can get involved in our wonderful school community. To volunteer, please complete the light blue form included in the packet of materials you received at the Open House and return it via backpack mail. If you have misplaced your volunteer form, you can get it here or visit http://mlspto.org to print another copy. We'd appreciate having completed forms by Friday, September 5th so that committee chairs can begin contacting volunteers, particularly for fall programs. Questions?
