  1. HELP NEEDED: We are in need of a volunteer(s) who would be willing to come in once a week for a few hours in the morning or afternoon to help the elementary teachers with things like making copies or other tasks as assigned by the teacher. Ideally it would be best if someone could commit to helping the same day each week (say Tuesday afternoons) so that the staff can know to count on that person weekly (we are flexible on the day and time). Also, we are in need of someone to help out in the office on Wednesdays and/or Thursdays. Please consider this as an opportunity to serve. Call Scot Musser or Julie Hendricks if you would be willing to help. Thank you!
