MAPFEST: Please take a moment this month to view MAPFEST, “The Amazing Traveling Map Show,” which is on display now in the Multi-purpose room and hallway for the month of January. MAPFEST is an amazing collection of over 100 maps that the PTSA has access to via The Passport Club…brought to us via the PTSA Geography Enrichment Committee. The maps will need to come down after school on Thursday, Jan. 26th. We need to take them down systematically to keep them in order and would like a team of 4-6 people to accomplish this task quickly. If you can volunteer to help, please contact Jennifer Lucero, jimandjen2000@comcast.net.
