Students:
We have had such an overwhelming response - almost 300 applicants! We are working hard to place as many of you as possible.
Within the next couple of days, you should receive an email from a group leader - letting you know that you have been assigned to a group - or Mrs. Thrash - letting you know that your choices aren't available and if there are any other options for you. Either way respond immediately so that we can confirm the groups before the training starts next week (see below).
Thanks!

There will be student music and dance performances in the cafeteria. After the performances, different classrooms are set up to represent different countries, and the Powers Ferry families travel from room to room, getting their "passport" stamped in each room.

Our jobs: -Stamping passports -Supervising the craft -Sell refreshments -Supervise the student performers while they are waiting backstage -Direct traffic in the hallways -Help with the Book Fair Volunteers who can speak Spanish would be very helpful to keep this event running smoothly, because many of the children's parent's cannot easily speak English Go ahead and email Kyle at wcospecialevents@hotmail.com if you are interested in helping out!
