volunteer corner - help make arleta shine!

---

Arleta has several fun events coming up, and we need volunteers to make them happen! Please sign up for the activities that interest you and your student:

Arleta Crossing Guards, school days, 7:45-8 am 

4th and 5th graders (with signed permission slip) and parent volunteers can help people safely cross the street in the mornings before school. Talk to Learning Center Teacher Sarah Vidmar in person or email her at svidmar@pps.net if you are interested.

Lunch & Recess Support, school days, 10:45 am-12:30 pm 

Volunteers monitor the lunch room and playground and help students as needed. This is a fun way to get to know other students and staff!

Arleta's Day at the PPS/PTA Clothing Center Volunteer, Thursday, October 5th from 9:30 am - 1:30 pm

The PPS/PTA Clothing Closet is where PPS students can "shop" for new clothes twice a year when referred by a school counselor. We are mandated to have 4-5 volunteers to help families select clothes and sort donations. Please sign up as a volunteer for any amount of time for this fun and valuable role! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0C4BA5A92FA2F58-ppspta2
