Let me know the dates and times that you would like to work. Remember, schedule the days and times that work for you. You may work as many hours as you would like, but there is a 4 hour minimum per shift. For teachers coming after school the minimum is waived (please schedule and arrive as soon as possible). The pre-sale and post-sale dates are limited so e-mail back quickly if you are interested. We look forward to hearing from you soon. I schedule in the order I receive your e-mails.
If you have any friends/neighbors who would like to volunteer please have them contact Stephanie at sw1122@bellsouth.net or you can e-mail me their names and e-mail addresses and I will pass along the information to them. If you have contact with a home school group that would like this information, please let me know so I can invite them to participate.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks again for volunteering your time. And thank you for building our reputation of Scholastic Volunteers as being one of accomplishment and dependability!
Thanks, Stephanie and Dana
