Good evening EMS families. We are looking for a few student volunteers that would be interested in assisting with PTO concession sales at volleyball games.

If your child is interested, have them see Dr. Moree or Mrs. Holden in the office.

We are looking responsible and outgoing students that would represent our school well while interacting with guests at sporting events.

Our next volleyball game is Thursday.
