Are you willing to volunteer at Terry Fox Run day at Prince of Wales, Friday September 30th?
Below are the volunteer opportunities.
- We will need help with set-up in the gym at 8:15 a.m. This will include setting up tables for hair stylists, some basic decorating, and setting up some chairs for parents and teachers.
- We will also need help with take-down, immediately following the assembly. Volunteers helping with this should have time to meet up with the classes before/as they head to the ridge for the run.
- Each class will be looking for one or two volunteers to walk to the ridge and keep an eye on students during the run. Let us know which teacher(s) you are connected to so that we can make sure we have enough volunteers!
