Volunteers Needed!!
On the heels of a very successful Science Fair, the ever-popular Science in a Can will be returning for 4 weeks in February. Science in a Can is a science enrichment program that is offered to Kindergarten, 2nd and 4th grade students at Central School. Students bring home a weekly age-appropriate science experiment. The science cans will be distributed to students typically on Fridays and must be returned with completed experiment sheets by the following Tuesday. Most of the materials needed to perform the experiment are contained within the can. We need volunteers to help stuff the cans and deliver them to the classrooms.
Volunteers are needed the first four Wednesdays of February (Feb. 1, 8, 15, and 22) from 8:30 to 10 AM.
We will need at least 3 volunteers each week, but the more the merrier.
If you are interested and able to help please contact either of the Science in a Can co-chairs, Jennie Hepker Royer and Patti Friend, science@centralptonews.org

The Book Fair is coming! Last year we gifted over $7,500 worth of books to the school thanks to the success of the fair! We are hoping to do even better this year! Part of the reason our fair is so successful is because of our many parent volunteers.
We need volunteers for the Book Fair Luau during the following dates and times. Sign up early to get your preferred time slot! Talk to your friends now and sign up together as we need 3-4 volunteers per hour depending upon what time of day it is. We would prefer if you can volunteer for at least an hour if possible. If you can help out on multiple days, even better! We will take any time that you can give.
- Friday, Jan. 27, 9am-noon: Book Fair set up (set up tables, unpack books, set up decorations)
- Monday, Jan. 30-Thursday, Feb. 2: help the students shop the fair, 8:30a-4pm
- Thursday, February, 2: staff the fair during the Winter Wonderland Social, 6:30p-9:00pm (great opportunity for working parents to get involved!)
- Friday, February 3: help to fill student orders and break down the fair, 8:30a-3pm
We can’t have a successful fair without your help. If you can volunteer, please email Jen at gentilej@centralptonews.org with your preferred date(s) and time(s).
