HAPPENINGS & HELP WANTEDS FOR WEEK OF: JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 4, 2012

Volunteer Opportunities - Thank you to all who came to the Volunteer Fair! All volunteer opportunities are now in a white binder in the Main Office (near the FOW Bulletin Board). Please check it out and sign up to help out on our many projects. The sign-ups are organized by type of task, but there is an Index by Committee and Index by Date in the front if you want to look up something. I have also put all volunteer opportunities online. Please go to www.friendsofwalgrove.com and click on the yellow button "SIGN UP NOW!" above the photo slideshow on the right side of the page. Questions? Contact: Julie Dair (juliedair@yahoo.com).

Save the Date - Yearbook Dedications will be going on sale March 5-30. Start gathering your photos and dedications now and be ready to take advantage of the early bird discount we are offering this year. We are also starting to collect school wide and classroom photos, so if you have photos of any Walgrove school function or event, or any other questions, please email them to walgroveyearbook@gmail.com.
