This event is only successful if we have a LARGE number of volunteers to help coordinate the activities.

Parent volunteers will be assigned to a specific activity and will assist the students as they rotate through the various events.  It is helpful for each volunteer to understand the rules of the game they will oversee and how the day will be organized so it is important to arrive on time, as indicated below.
