spread some holiday cheer in the community and we are seeking volunteer assistance from other
young people throughout the city.

assistance, artistic support and event staffing. We are requesting that students sign up to be a part of
this great event in whatever capacity they see fit. You will find a sign in sheet to distribute to either
guidance counselors or secretaries in the main offices. This serves as a great opportunity for students
to gain community service hours as well as foster a partnership with the departments youth volunteer
recruitment efforts.
