Spring Carnival Help Needed! :)

Spring Carnival is just around the corner! The date is tentative, but we’re looking at late April or early May. April Rhodes and Jodie Fitzgerald, our wonderful committee chairs, need volunteers to pull off this fun event. Not only is Spring Carnival a great time for the kids, it is also Heritage PTA’s only fundraiser. If you are interested in serving on the Spring Carnival Committee please contact April Rhodes at: april_rhodes@verizon.netor 972-966-1027 Thanks for your willingness to help!
