Spring Book Fair Volunteers Needed

The Spring Book Fair is coming up soon.  We are in need of volunteers to help with set up, working the fair, and take down.  

Any help you can give would be appreciated,  even an hour in the morning after drop off, or in the afternoon before pick-up would be helpful.

The book fair set up will be this Friday, February 22 during the school day.                                                  

The Book Fair Will Be Open for Business:  
February 25 – 28 – Monday – Thursday 

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday  8:15 AM- 2:30 PM
Tuesday (late evening)  4:00 PM- 6:00 PM
Wednesday 8:10 AM - 12:45 PM

During the book fair, students need help finding the items they are looking for, and also with pricing.  

We will need help to take down the book fair on Friday, March 1st during school hours.

Set up involves moving the chairs and tables to make room for the book fair carts.  Moving the large book carts into place, and setting up display tables.  

Take down involves packing everything back up, and putting chairs and tables back in place to prepare the library for students the following week.

Many volunteers are needed to help make the book fair successful!  If you’d like to volunteer your time to help set up, work or take down the Book Fair, contact Ms. Laitkep at Laitkept@pearlandisd.org.  You can also send an email to CJHarrisPTA@gmail.com. 

All volunteers are welcome, but please make sure you have done your PISD Volunteer background check at pearlandisd.org .

Thank you so much for your help in making CJ Harris a great place for our students to learn.

Family Western Night

Family Western Night is coming up this Friday, February 22 from 5-7 PM.  

We will be eating BBQ sandwiches, enjoying country music, and visiting with friends and families.    Food purchase is not required to attend.

BBQ Sandwiches, Chips and a drink are available for $5.00 each.  Food must be pre-ordered, and orders must be received by February 20^th. 

Volunteers are needed and appreciated.  If you would like to help out on Friday with set-up, working during the event, or clean up, please contact Suzi Murphy at 832-347-0744 or email Suzi0818@gmail.com.     You can volunteer in 30 minute increments so you will be able to enjoy time with your children as well.

We will be having a bake sale and appreciate any donations of store bought or homemade cookies, brownies, cupcakes, etc. that can be packaged in small ziplock bags or sold individually.  Please do not send pies, cakes, cobbler, etc. as they are too messy to sell in small portions.  

Bake Sale donations need to be delivered to the school by 9:00am Friday 2/22/13.  If you have any questions or would like to donate, please contact Chasity Napper at  281-413-4767 or email chasityn22@yahoo.com

The PTA will also be having a rummage sale to reduce inventory of Santa shop items,  school spirit shirts and hoodies from previous years, and assorted other items currently in storage.  These items will be offered at reduced prices.  Many items are in limited quantity or sizes.

We look forward to seeing you there!
