RESOURCE FAIR
No Resource Fair for 2007
Due to reduced staffing, Shorecrest High School will not be having a Resource Fair this fall. However, we MAY find that coordinating BOTH Senior Projects and Community Service will be a breeze and we will have plenty of
time to give the Resource Fair another go in 2008.
In place of the Resource Fair past exhibitors sent in a description of volunteer duties & contact information.
Please email your information to be added to the list.
