VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT:
Our drama program has grown into a wonderful community experience due in a large part to the support of our terrific parent volunteers. Thank you!
Because the PTA is responsible for the Drama Club, we are allowed to use the school facilities for our productions. The Drama Program, like all other PTA run after school programs, are required to have a parent present at rehearsal to support the directors.
This year we are asking that every parent plan to: volunteer at either a rehearsal during the semester or during Tech week.
A few other opportunities to volunteer during tech week include helping backstage, costumes, snacks, set up/clean up, photography, and video. We appreciate and need parent support, Thank you!!
Partial scholarship reimbursement assistance through the Cherry Chase PTA is available to those who qualify. Please contact the school office for details.
