Our Penguin Patch Holiday Shop will be Wednesday, December 4-Friday, December 6. We are asking for volunteers to help set up the shop, help students choose their items, wrap them up, and pack up the event at the end of the week.
Your kids would love to see you there - below are the days/times each class will be at the shop.
We need the most volunteers for our K-2nd grade classes so any time you can join us is greatly appreciated. Information packets will be sent home with your student soon!
Just a reminder - every volunteer needs to have a background check on file with UCE before the event.
