Folder Stuffing for Meet the Teacher! We need your help!

Wow, the summer flew by!
It's that time of year again.  Meet the Teacher is September 1st and we need your help next week to get all the back to school folders ready.  With enough people this is a rather short time commitment and even 15 - 30 minutes is vastly appreciated!

Here are the details and sign up:
August 25th (Thursday), 10am till 12 noon, at Lincoln school. (check in with Amy on arrival)
Older students can come and help!  Bonus: you can take your family folder home with you when stuffing is done.
