*** VOLUNTEERS NEEDED*** Message from Crawford PTO: We are currently seeking 2 individuals that are organized and will work well together. We have a concession stand scheduler and a team to inventory, order, pickup and stock the concession stand, but we are still in need of 2 individuals to manage the concession stand. These two people can break it down to Thursday night/Friday night games or 1st shift/2nd shift of the night, however you prefer. Concession stand manager duties consist of treasurer, opening the concession stand each game and getting the grill fired up and food going, chopping vegetables, picking up the Bush’s tea and getting ice from the school each game. For more information please email Crawfordpto@mail.com or call Katy Westerfeld at 254-723-7249

Coming from VM: You will turn RIGHT on the road just before the JH/HS Entrance (Buffalo Country Road).
You will take your first LEFT off Buffalo onto Bison.
