Parent Volunteer??!!!
Hi! I am in need of a parent volunteer every Friday to help lead a math group. The time will most always be 8-8:40. I will always have something for you planned - most of the time it will be a multiplication facts activity. If a few parents would like to share the job, that would be fine, too! We could make a schedule so you wouldn't have to come every Friday.
Please let me know by emailing me! :)
Thank you!
