(UPDATE: 6 slots left. Thank you everyone who has signed up and boosted!) Dear Families,

I hope this message finds you well. We are hoping to still host Wagons Ho on our campus next Thursday, November 6th. Unfortunately, we do not have enough volunteers to pull it off, as the centers require adult help. Currently, we have 6 open slots to fill.

We will wait until Monday to see if these slots can be filled before making the decision to cancel with Mr. and Mrs. Clevenger. They had mentioned another opening at the end of February, which we could consider if needed.

Please rally all the adults you know—friends, family, neighbors, and older siblings—to help bring this experience to our children. Volunteers must be over the age of 18 for safety reasons.

If you or someone you know can assist, here is the link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050845AEA92CA5F94-59844118-wagons#/

Sincerely, 4th Grade Team
