The volunteers will be outside on the blacktop and supervise students while they are having a snack and lunch then go play in the playground structure, blacktop and field. Volunteers must make sure students don't have "food fights" at the lunch tables, that they play safely on the playground structure and out in the field. We currently have 3 campus monitors, but we can always use another "pair of eyes". For questions and to sign up, contact Silvia Crowley at scrowley@carlsbadusd.net or 760.331.6595.
