Harvest Festival - Volunteers Needed The Harvest Festival is a major school event and we can't put it all together without the help of our great Parent/Family volunteers. If you're available to volunteer at the Festival, please be in touch with your teacher/room parent to see if you can help with your class game booth or attractions or please reply back to this email and let us know when you're available as we'll have plenty of positions that will need to be covered. We do understand the desire to spend the time with your Pioneer at the Festival but please consider splitting your time. Perhaps spend an hour with your Pioneer and volunteering the remainder of the time or vice versa. This is also a great opportunity for high school students who need to complete volunteer service hours (make sure to visit the check in booth and we'll sign off on hours). Any time is greatly appreciated as we will not be able to offer as many fun attractions if we don't have enough volunteers. Your children's safety is our top priority.  Reflections Contest Is your Pioneer working on their artwork for the Reflections Contest?
