The winter sports season is upon us and, with that, volunteers are needed!! We need volunteers to take tickets and work in the concession stands at home games. If you sign up for three spots to take tickets, you receive a season pass for home games. Helping with concessions provides opportunities for the students and groups to earn money towards their many projects! See the link below to sign up. It takes many hands to make these events happen!
