🍕Pizza and Subway days need YOU!🍕

The School Council is excited to announce that planning is underway for Pizza and Subway lunch days at school this year! To make it happen, we need volunteers!

Volunteers are critical to distributing the pizza and subs each and every Monday and Friday. Volunteers need to be at the school from 10:20 until 11:45 on either a Pizza Monday or a Subway Friday, and you can sign up for just one shift, or several. It’s a great opportunity to get involved, get to know the school, and the great people in our AVPS community. Without volunteers, these programs can’t run!

If you are interested or want more information, please email Caryn at avscpizza@gmail.com or Ana at avscsubs@gmail.com.

More info to come on this delicious and much-loved fundraiser!
