Alice In Wonderland Jr. The Musical - Volunteers & Donations Needed
Attention parents of cast and crew of the Musical, this year the PTO and the music directors have once again combined our sign up volunteer lists.
There are many different needs to make this musical a great success and parent helpers are a very important part. For example, bulk snacks need to be sent in on the days of long rehearsals, help is needed with the dress rehearsal pizza dinner, as well as help is needed each night of the show with selling concessions/tickets and of course help is needed with the cast 'party' on the last night of the show.
Please click this link to see the specific list of items that are needed and which days they are needed. Hopefully there will be an opportunity for all that would like to help. As always thank you very much in advance for your time and support.
