Steller Library wants to thank the parent volunteers who have committed to being here at lunch to keep the library available to students! And, we still have days available to volunteer—and stay connected to the school if you are considering ways to help out. If the commitment of every week is a bit much, doing it 2x/ month or so is another possibility…we can make it work with your schedule.

Please email Jennifer Hall Jones if interested! Hall-jones_jennifer@asdk12.org
