FREE MONEY
The PTA needs parents and grandparents who can help us enter Coke Rewards codes. It is pretty easy to scan codes in with the Coke Rewards app. It can be done at home on your own time. Please let Kelly Stanton know if you are able to volunteer.

POPCORN
The PTA is looking for several consistent helpers to pop popcorn on Friday mornings. If you are available once a month from 8-10 a.m., please consider lending a hand. Contact Dawn Russell at 334-462-5843.

The school (not the PTA) sells the popcorn as a fundraiser for Bear. The PTA has supplied volunteers for years, and we would like to continue to help the school in this project. Moms, dads, grandparents, friends... all are welcome, and no experience is necessary.
