Annual PLMS 6^th Grade Picnic - Wednesday, June 12^th from 10 a.m. to 3:20 p.m.

The 6^th Grade teachers, with lots of help from the 6^th grade families, traditionally host an annual end of the year picnic at Pine Lake Park. 

On Wednesday, June 12^th our students will be walking together to Pine Lake Park. The day includes activities at the park with their 8^th grade Compass leaders, time to socialize with 6^th grade friends and teachers, a few semi-organized games, and eating a pizza lunch together (to be provided). We are looking for parent chaperones to walk to and from the park and help supervise an area throughout the time there. If your time is limited, we would also appreciate some help serving our students lunch from 11:30 a.m. – 1:20 p.m. Or you could simply drop off some of the picnic extras like desserts, fruits or vegetables in the morning. 

Please use this Sign-Up Genius to volunteer as a full-day chaperone, a lunch server or to donate food (washed and prepared fruit or veggies, cookies, and cupcakes).

Please note that all in-person volunteers must be approved by the ISD (link below).
