Art Show volunteers are needed!

Last year we had over 700 student artworks displayed in the SWE Art Show! I could not have done it without my amazing volunteers. I would love your help labeling student work, mounting it onto black paper, and potentially helping paint a photo backdrop. Thank you so much for your help! Please include your phone number, I will text you the day of your time slot! CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP
