🎃👻 SIGHUP!! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! 👻🎃
Our Lava Hot Springs Academy Halloween Carnival is coming up, and we need LOTS of volunteers to help make it an amazing night for our students! 🧡

There are plenty of ways to help:
🎃 Set up before the carnival
👻 Run activities during the event
🧹 Help with cleanup afterward

Have an hour? A few hours? Want to help with multiple jobs? Every bit of help makes a difference! 🙌

⭐ Students in 8th grade and older are welcome to volunteer too! It’s a great way to get involved, help make the carnival special for younger students, and earn service hours if needed.

We especially need plenty of hands to keep everything running smoothly! Come meet other LHSA families, get involved, and help us create a fun and memorable Halloween celebration for our kids! 🎃🕷️🧡

It's a perfect day for a hike up the L! Thank you to all our volunteers who helped make this day possible.

Parents, just a reminder that your student will be walking to the L tomorrow. Please make sure that they have appropriate shoes, a backpack with water, and a lunch. They can wear a hat if they would like.
They will be walking in sagebrush, so pants will be best. Please make sure that their backpack is manageable for them as they will be the one carrying it.
If you have any questions, please contact your student's teacher. Thanks!!!!
