Maker’s Space & Wolverine Wranglers: Ongoing (volunteers needed)
Does your kid need an alternative to the playground? Maker’s Space occurs every Monday and Wednesday during lunch recess. Volunteers will interact with students and help them create! Frequently requested items include toilet paper & paper towel tubes, clean pringles cans with lids, Scotch brand magic tape, and white construction paper — drop off donations in the main office.
Become a Wolverine Wrangler and play with kids during their lunch recess! Yes, the weather is cold but all the more reason to run around with kids! Sign up to help any day of the week and lead kids in games of soccer, wall ball, four square, or any other game you’d like.
