VOLUNTEERS WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🎬🍿

Our first McNeal Family Movie Night is coming up on Friday, August 21st, and we need volunteers to help make the night a success!

To volunteer, you must be Level 2 cleared through the district AND have attended one Volunteer Orientation at McNeal Elementary.

📣 Our first Volunteer Orientation is this Tuesday, August 18th at 5:15 PM!
