Dear Parents & Guardians,
Please find information to support you next week. Please note that the weekly email gets posted to the website each week.
Message from Parents
We are only a month away and currently short approx. 17 positions (11 roles + 6 backups). We cannot run the casino without our dedicated volunteers. Learn more about the Casino Fundraiser.
This is a great way to bring in funds for our school and we often raise around $65,000 or more. We require volunteers at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino for Tuesday November 12 and Wednesday November 13 for daytime and evening shifts. You will receive all the training you need when you arrive and you will find volunteering at the casino both fun and rewarding. Day shifts are between 10am-7pm, evening shifts are between 6:45 pm and 3:45 am or 11 pm and 3:45 am (count room positions only). You can sign up for multiple shifts, but they have to be the same position; you cannot be banker one day and chip runner another, but you could be banker both days.
Timelines are tight and anyone who works in the casino must be cleared by AGLC first.
The link to signup is here. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0A44AEAC22ABF94-epscarlett Any required paperwork will be sent to you to fill out. If you have any questions please contact epscasino@gmail.com

More information will come out on this night in a separate email.

This is an optional service for families and the decision to participate is up to each family. We have not reviewed the health standards at each restaurant, so we encourage families to make an informed choice.

If you are able to help out with the distribution of Healthy Hunger lunches, please click on the following link to sign up.
