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.

The Presale is from Nov. 6 - Nov. 13. Please cut off the bottom slip of the attached flyer and turn the completed slip with cash or check payable to Union Township Athletic Club in a sealed envelope (labeled child’s name/Craft Show) to their teacher or school Secretary, Mrs. Roberts! They will pick up their wristband at the craft show. In the back of Wheeler HS fieldhouse, by the bounce houses, they will check in at the table with their name & get their wristband.
