Eighth Grade Dance and 8th Grade Parents: The 8th Grade Dance at Edison Middle School is Thursday, May 29, 2014 from 7-9 p.m. We need a minimum of 10 volunteers to help with concessions and monitor the gym. If you would like to volunteer, please let me know by replying to guzmanje@champaignschools.org .
Volunteers should arrive at 6:40 p.m. and check in at the concession table in the cafeteria. I will have a table with nametags and duty assignments. Volunteer duties include helping with concessions, helping check in students, monitoring the front door, halls and bathroom, and watching the dance floor and gym doors (doors are left open to allow air in and out, but no one is allowed to enter or leave). If your child does not want you in the gym, let me know and I can assign you to concessions.
