  • 3: playing cards (any type) or small puzzles/games
  • 4: socks and gloves (adult sizes)

Science Day: Call For Volunteers

Volunteers are needed to help run activities on Highland Science Day on Wednesday, March 11. There are two sessions, with grades K–3 activities running from 9:15–11:00AM grades 4–6 activities running from 1:30–3:00PM. If you are interested in volunteering, you may provide your own science activity or select from ones we have used in the past. (The PTO is generously providing reimbursement of up to $20 for any necessary materials.) For those who are new to Science Day, no previous science experience or expertise is needed. All you need to be successful is enthusiasm and a desire to work with the kids! If you are interested, please contact Melanie Wills (215-481-9657, willsfamilypa@verizon.net).
