BINGO:  Instead of paying the $45 fundraising committment, parents or students aged 16 or over can volunteer at a bingo.  If you have not submitted a form indicating the days and times you prefer to volunteer, please let Mr. Micheli know your preferences (or whether you would rather pay) so that we can try to have enough bingos for everyone who wants one.
