VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:  Due to the response we have had from the first few What Do You Need Wednesday sales, the PTO would like to start hosting these sales on a weekly basis after the holidays, starting Jan 8 through April 29.  In order to do that, we need some volunteers each week to come and help with the sales.  Please look at your calendar and consider signing up to help.  Please note that we can only have the sales each week if we are able to get some volunteers – so check your schedule and see if there might be at least one shirt that you could come out and help.https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C49AFAC2BA0FD0-what
