Chairs: Lauren Cozier & Masha Bahrani

DATE: June 6, 2025 (Rain Date: June 11, 2025)

TIME: 8:45-2:45PM

All L-H 5th graders spend the day at Crestview Pool enjoying fun, food & games (i.e., scavenger hunt, field games, jeopardy, DJ, etc.) with their classmates. We will need MANY volunteers/drivers for this event.  ***DRIVER/CHAPERONES REQUIRED.*** ***DRIVERS MUST BE FINGERPRINTED!***

Submit completed volunteer driver forms as soon as possible to Mrs. Downey and get fingerprinted if you haven’t already. Please note that you MUST resubmit the driver paperwork each year as insurance declaration pages expire (and driver's license status may change). A driver shortage can be difficult to remedy as the events approach - please consider having the required paperwork on file now so this doesn’t happen!
