Woodlin PTA is seeking volunteers to help out at the Woodlin PTA International Spring Fair on Saturday, May 14^th from 1-5pm (rain date is Sunday, May 15th ). Most of the shifts are an hour and a half, but we’d love whatever help you can give. If you can’t stay the full time, just note that in the sign up genius. As always, set up and clean up volunteers are the unsung heroes of the day!

The location is Woodlin ES at Grosvenor (5701 Grosvenor Lane, Bethesda, MD 20814). We welcome high school & middle school students for SSL hours. If you need some service hours, we’d love to have your help putting on this fun, community building event for our Woodlin families and teachers! Please sign up for a volunteer shift at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044BAAA828AAF85-international.
