We need 5 to 10 parents to split up the days and just do a little something for the teachers (Friday will be a pizza lunch). If you need ideas for the other 4 days, we can help with that! It would mean so much to them! Contact Kristian Sargeant (Kristian.sargeant@sjcnc.org), Jennifer Clarke (jenniferandjohnc@sbcglobal.net), or Mary Schoen Petersen (schoenpetersen@comcast.net) to help us out. The Teachers will thank you and so will we!
