🙏 Final Thought & Important Reminders
A few important reminders:
💵 Bring plenty of cash change.
Other vendors do not like to give out their change—especially if we’re not prepared. Please come ready so we don’t inconvenience or upset neighboring vendors.
👨👩👧 Parents are responsible for their children.
We will not have staff assigned to watch individual booths. While mentors may stop by to talk with students, it is your responsibility to ensure your child has everything they need to be successful.
