Parents--we need your help!

We are in need of volunteers to bring in dishes, drinks, and paper products for the faculty lunch on Suzuki Day, March 24. We'll need enough food for 15.

We had a wonderful turn out for the visiting clinicians and faculty last year. Anyone who can contribute a gluten free and a vegan dish would be appreciated.

Please email me, Jessica Hoffman (fourfingerfrenzy@yahoo.com) with what you would like to contribute to the lunch.

All contributions can be left in the upstairs Faculty Lounge that morning. (Please make a note that specifies your dish/paper products for "Suzuki Day Faculty Lunch").
