First Grade Volunteers

The first grade teachers are holding a parent meeting/activity for their classes on Thursday December 4 from 5:15 to 6:45. We were hoping to provide daycare for younger siblings to allow parents a chance to attend with their first grader. We were wondering if there were any students interested in helping watch and do activities with children whose parents may need daycare for the time of our meeting and also to supervise first graders while we begin our meeting with their parents.  We anticipate about 90 kids total, but will have more of an exact number closer to the day.  If interested, please contact Mrs. Berg at jberg@howard-winn.k12.ia.us
