"I AM SECOND" IN ACTION
Bless our ES music teacher: You may not realize this; our ES music teacher, Melanie Baxley doesn't get to keep her classroom over the weekend as it is needed for FBC Sunday school. Every Friday afternoon Miss Baxley must pack up every single
thing in her room and move it through the halls to the library to store for the
weekend. Every Monday morning, she unpacks it all again. She never complains a
peep. We would like to bless her by arranging volunteers who will help her on
Friday afternoons (about 2:40-3:00 pm) and Monday mornings, about 7:30-7:45 am.
If you can offer your time, please contact Kathy Schmidt, josabank.kathy@att.net.
(Shhhh! Miss Baxley doesn't know we are posting this!)
Be the Laminator: Cheri Albright, our Edison Project coordinator, would love some assistance with laminating projects next week. If you are available to help, please email Cheri, cheri.albright@fcspaladins.org. Thank you to all our incredible parents who serve our school, faculty and staff so generously!
GP Day Hall Hostesses: ES needs 6-8 volunteers for Grandparents' Day on Monday, October 14 to greet our grandparents, direct them to the auditorium, and help them find their grandchild's classroom.
