Mark Twain Vision + Hearing Screening- Dec 12th

12/3/2024 10:25 pm

It’s time for the annual Vision and Hearing Screening for Mark Twain Elementary on Thursday, December 12th. We are looking for 20 volunteers to do a variety of tasks from 8:40am to 1:00pm. Volunteers will be assigned upon arrival, and we are looking for those who can stay the entire time because it is very hard to stop and train a new volunteer. All volunteers need to be an LWSD approved volunteer. Thank you!
