May Meeting Minutes/Recap
What a treat to hear a Superintendent update from Dr. Woodson and another School Board Recap from our liaison John Fencl! We also heard from a wonderful panel about the importance of recess in our schools and had a lively discussion about recess and brain breaks during the day. If you have concerns about your child's recess time, please contact school administration and/or Mrs. Kim Piper, Director of Elementary Education.

Having an active, independent parent-driven advocacy group in Washington Township demonstrates to the Administration, School Board and entire community that we care about our schools, teachers and kids. By providing information to parents and caregivers, we empower them to be leaders in our community. With our active committees, we enable them to have an impact on issues that matter and ultimately affect the quality of the public education experience for all families in our district.
In addition, we are a useful, supportive group in two key ways: 1) by serving our district in an advisory capacity on many different issues and 2) by being active in support of our schools at the local and state levels.
Meet Your Current Leaders:
2017-2018 Board of Directors
President: Taryn Greaser (Fox Hill/Westlane)
Immediate Past President: Kristina Frey (Fox Hill)
