7th grade parent help needed

I'm looking for a few seventh grade parents to help me with funding for our sleepover at the Boston Museum of Science this May. I would like to apply to pto and JEF to reduce the cost of this trip. If you are interested please send me an email ( kaczynski.jim@jamestownschools.org ) and we can set up a time to meet. There were a few people that had expressed interest at open house but I did not write your names down. Thank you!
