Shout Out to our Volunteers :)

Every PTA program and event is possible because dedicated parents step up to run them. In September (and over the summer), these parents have been working hard:

After School Activities: Thank you Ying Li and Zeina Shreif for working with our vendors, school administration, and PTA board to select wonderful enrichment classes for our students and run a smooth registration process! Classes start this week and we thank you for your dedication!! 

Audit Committee: This group meets 3-4 times per year and is led by the wonderful Mandy Ryan! Thank you Audit Committee for making sure our books are in order and we are in full compliance. We appreciate you! 

Welcome Committee: This committee ran three wonderful playdates over the summer for our incoming kindergarten and 1st grade families and helped organize 2 welcome events for new families at the beginning of the school year. Thank you to Linda Pugel and your amazing team for welcoming our new families!
