New year, new look -- still chock-full of essential information!
We hope your break was fun, safe, and relaxing. We have a lot of fun things planned for 2024, so keep reading!
But first: Would you like to get involved in the PTSA, and help us support our school and our students? Here's a way to volunteer for a limited period of time and have a great impact: Join the PTSA Nominating Committee, the group that helps to identify Board Members for next year. Stay tuned for more information on the open Board positions… but in the meantime, please let us know if you, or someone you know, would be a great fit for Nominating Committee.
As always, please reach out any time with your comments, questions, or suggestions.
Warmest Regards,
The PTSA Executive Committee
