Volunteers Needed for Second Annual Senior Composition Memory Book Day

Do you scrapbook?  Proofread?  Know about computers and printers?  Enjoy working with high school youth?  Have a day to give to God in the form of volunteer hours?  If you answered YES to any of these questions, the high school seniors of Warrick County could use your time and experience on Saturday, April 9th in the gym at FCC!  Why?  All Warrick County high school seniors are required to construct a memory book (scrapbook) as their final projects, which are due prior to graduation in May.  Many seniors have been known to procrastinate until the last few days prior to the deadline and throw together their memory books in haste and panic.  As an outreach, the Women’s Ministry would like to extend a hand in the organization, planning, and proofreading of pages for the seniors of Castle, Boonville, and Tecumseh High Schools.  We would especially like to encourage parents of high school seniors to spend this day of bonding over memories with their students.

Many volunteers are needed to make this a success, so please give of your time and talents!  Volunteer a few hours of your day or the entire day.  If you are interested in helping, please check the box in the gray shaded area of your program tab.  For more information, contact Gina Scales at gscales@warrick.k12.in.us.

We are also asking for donations of basic scrapbooking items, so that no high school seniors will be without!  If you have new or gently used scrapbooking supplies you are willing to donate, please place them in the marked container in the main hallway.  Common items needed include:  adhesive, scissors, stickers (school, family, sports, graduation, friends), 12 x 12 acid-free paper, 12 x 12 refill pages, 12 x 12 unused albums, printer paper and printer cartridges.
