Halloween Hop Volunteers

 

🎃 The Halloween Hop needs you! ðŸŽƒ

 

 

Join us on Saturday, October 25th for our morning session from 11-2pm or afternoon session from 1-4pm in the school yard for a ghoulish carnival of games, arts and crafts, obstacle courses and more!

 

The Hop is the first major community building event of the year, and we need your help to make it a success... Please sign up below for one or more shifts.

👻 The more the merrier! ðŸ‘»

Please remember to scroll allllll the way down and click "Save" to guarantee your spot. 

 

 

P.S.  If you noticed that there are no roles for monitoring the obstacle courses and gaga pit, have no fear - we still have them, but we've hired A&A staff as chaperones to take that off our plates. (Can you help us sponsor them? Click here!)

Dunk Tank Volunteer

Not for the faint of heart, but could be a match for the right parent! If you have a wetsuit and are ok getting wet, this position is for you! (Water will not be heated and is rather cold, be warned) Volunteer will be seated in a large dunk tank and kids will take turns throwing a ball at a lever that will release the seat and you will drop into the large tank. Best suited for a volunteer who loves interacting with an audience!
