VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
October's Volunteer of the Month is Hari Garimella!!
Hari always makes himself available at every volunteer opportunity. He was instrumental with the WatchDOGS group supporting Corky’s Cookout. Hari offered to pick up and return the grills, whatever was needed. He also arrived to the event more than an hour early to help set up, cooked hot dogs for the full 2 hours during the event, and then stayed until we were completely done cleaning up. His help during Corky’s Cookout definitely took the pressure off of many others. Thank you to Hari and all the WatchDOGS!! Hari will have the reserved parking place at the front of the school from Oct.15-Nov.15th and receive a special gift from the PTA.
