Principal’s Notes

We have lots of opportunities for parents to volunteer this semester. We know that people are very busy with work, family, and other commitments, but we’re hoping everyone can get involved in one way or another in school activities. There are a variety of needs, depending on your interests – gardening, carpentry, fundraising, event coordinating, site council … Check out some of the descriptions below and let me know if you have any questions. Also, on back you’ll find ways to help City High School when you do your weekly grocery shopping. We are now registered with Safeway, Fry’s, and Bashas’ and all the information on how to raise money for our school through these participating stores is provided on the flyer. Thanks for all of your help!
