  • Help Make Rites of May happen!

    Posted April 4

    It takes a village, or at least an active group of parent and guardians. Please volunteer for Rites of May, on the 17th (set up) and 18th (fun and games and food!)! We seek talent in all forms—controlling lines of eager climbers on the bouncy slide, twirling cotton candy, selling t-shirts the week before so we are all properly attired, persuading local restaurants to donate foods to feed us all. If you don’t have the talent, that’s fine too. We really just need your time and enthusiasm!
