Congratulations to 2 cafeteria volunteers this month! Michelle Lipawksy's name was drawn as the December Volunteer of the Month. She will receive a handmade Fox apron. A new award for Volunteer of the Fall Semester goes to Stephanie Weber who worked 22 lunch shifts! She will receive a $10 Gift Card for Starbucks. A huge thank you to both volunteers! Cafeteria volunteers are needed each week to hand out supplies and to assist students with opening packages. Shifts are 11:10-12:10 and 12:00-1:00 each day during lunch. Schedule yourself on a minimal basis or sign up for weekly shifts. Sign up to volunteer through Membership Toolkit or contact Sue Boling.

 | | Meet Our Volunteers of the Month Congratulations to our December Volunteers of the Month, Becca Kutz, Wendy Gore, Kristin Wicichowski, Laura Powell, and Marcia and Marty Shook. Becca works tirelessly to create fun PTA-sponsored events for our NFES families as she planned November's Math and Science Night. She also ensures that all events are appropriately staffed with volunteers. Wendy and Kristin did a fabulous job organizing a successful Turkey Trot while Laura was instrumental in assembling a hard copy of the Faculty Favorite Things Binder to keep in the office. Marcia and Marty have consistently volunteered over the past six years in their 5th grade grandson's classroom for enrichments, Explorer Lab and many other activities. Thank you to these amazing volunteers! |
