The registration desk will include collecting registration forms that are already complete or helping those who have not completed the form complete it on an iPad or chromebook. To hand out bags, you only need to give each student who attends a bag of goodies when they walk in. We have 2 shifts available and each shift is only 1 1/2 hours long. Sign up here or Contact Robyn Ponder for more details.
