Hi Everyone -
Please see the message from Lori and Phillip Hayes below:
Thank You!!!!
We would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all the parents and students, who made Paulding Meadows Arts and Crafts Festival an incredible success.
We could not have done any of this without volunteers signing up and working the food booth, parking lot, and the front gate along with all the donations of Oreos, soda, and water that were brought in the last few weeks. This is a huge fundraiser for the band and the student’s individual account.
We are now asking if anyone would be interested in taking over this position.
Our children are seniors and we are looking forward to other avenues for volunteer opportunities. We would shadow and help out with everything next year.
Please think about it and let us know.
Thank you for all you do!
Laura Cook
