The Ring-a-Bottle Booth is once again collecting your treasures! The booth chairs say it's the perfect opportunity to get rid of some of your kids' stuff when they aren't looking. (So they can win it back on Picnic Day.) Drop your games, puzzles, toys, anything non-breakable on the porch at 3872 Bowen. Questions? Call Bridgette at 314-477-9008 or Laura 314-599-3205.
All of our booth chairs are HAPPILY accepting volunteers to fill slots on Picnic Day. See the opportunities in our Signup Genius. If you’re accessing on a computer or tablet, you’ll see that each of the booths has its own tab at the top. Browse them all by clicking the arrow under the tabs. Click a booth’s tab then scroll down to see slots available. If you’re looking at the Signup Genius on a phone, you’ll see a dropdown box instead of tabs.
SCHOOL
As you know, it's a challenging time in which to be hiring, so we're hoping you all can help us spread the word to anyone who may be interested in joining our community as a staff member! See Mr. Sturgill's Friday Notes introduction for more information about these open positions.
