There is still space available in several upcoming events.
If you would like to sign up, here is what you need to do.

1. Email bidboard@montclairelementaryschool.org and we'll add your child to the list; space is limited so it's first come, first served (Note the restrictions, some events are only open to children in specific grades.)
2. Pay: Go to the school office--there is a binder marked 'PTA Bid Boards'; Fill out the Payment form, leave your donation (cash or check only).

It's that easy . . ..
