Calling all volunteers! Join us in the library for our Fall Scholastic Book Fair, Monday November 18th through Thursday November 21st. 

We’ll need help setting up and taking down the fair after school on Monday and Thursday, as well as volunteers to work the fair during school hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Please note the late shopping hours on Wednesday night, and we’ll be especially busy during Thanksgiving lunches on Thursday!

As a volunteer your duties may include: 

   - Organizing and restocking items for sale

   - Maintaining cleanliness of the fair

   - Assisting students with their book selections

   - Helping students count change and make payments

   - Cashiering (The Scholastic payment system is incredibly easy to use and we’ll provide all training at the start of your volunteer shift!)

Please feel welcome to claim one, or as many shifts as you’d like. This is a really fun way to get to know RPE staff and see your children interact with their friends. 

Questions? Please reach out to Kelsey Emerson at kemerson531@gmail.com
