Finian's Rainbow - Final Volunteer Schedule

UPDATED APRIL 17th @ noon

 

Thank you to all that have donated so much of your time. We really can’t do this without you! With that, we would like to remind all parents that all rehearsals are Closed Rehearsals. There are several reasons why we must adhere to this rule. Please, if you are not on the chaperone list or a photographer do not come to the rehearsal and sit in the gym during rehearsals. If you are early for pickup there are benches in the gym lobby for your convenience. We appreciate your understanding with this issue.
