Community Service Opportunity

Our Middle School is hosting the CPL Scholars’ Bowl League meet on Feb. 16. We could use as many as 24 high school students to serve as timers, scorekeepers, etc. from 3:30 – 6:00.   It would be helpful if you have had some experience already with Scholars’ Bowl, either presently or in the past.  If you haven’t, but would still like to help, just come ask Ms. Pence.  Sign-up sheet is in the office.  Thank you!
