End of the year party - sign up form

I apologize to anyone who tried to sign up for a food or party item and couldn't. I didn't change the settings from view to edit. If you try again and it doesn't work, let me know. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
End of year party - sign up form

Week of June 3rd

End of the year party:
Each year, I hold an end of the year celebration where students showcase the work they’ve completed throughout the year. Students made invitations and hopefully, you've received them. If parents cannot attend, students can bring an aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc. If no one can attend on the child’s behalf, please let me know and we can make arrangements with a staff member here at school. Due to space limitations, we will not be able to accomodate siblings. 

It would be greatly appreciated if parents can volunteer to bring food or party items. Please view this google document to volunteer and sign up. If the google document isn't working, send me an email and I'll share the document with your child.
