Family Stay and Play is *hopefully* happening this Tuesday! This should be such a fun event for our community BUT we cannot have inflatables running without adult supervision. Please consider signing up for a short 30 minute shift: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B45AEAF29A3F5C34-63373410-family #/
**without enough volunteers, we will unfortunately need to close the bounce houses.
ππ WE NEED YOUR HELP to make FAMILY STAY & PLAY a success! ππ
Our students (and their families!) are so excited for a night full of bouncing, playing, and making memories in the bounce houses! π°β¨
But hereβs the important part β we canβt safely run the bounce houses without enough volunteers to help monitor them.
π We need volunteers to:
β’ Supervise bounce house activity
β’ Help keep things safe and fair for all kids
β’ Be a friendly adult presence so everyone can enjoy the fun!
And we truly mean it when we say thisβ¦ if we do not have enough volunteers, we will have to close the bounce houses. π
We really, really donβt want that to happen β the kids LOVE this part of the event!
If you are able to help, even for a short shift, it would make a HUGE difference. We will be so grateful for every single person who steps in to support.
π Please consider signing up and helping us keep the fun (and bouncing!) going for our families! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B45AEAF29A3F5C34-63373410-family #/
