Twin Trails Foundation / Sundance PAC
Welcome back Sundance Families!
We wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude to the entire Sundance staff for a fun and efficient first day of supply pickups and class meetings. We hope our Sundance kids enjoyed cooling off with popsicles before greeting their classmates and teachers on Zoom with purple, blue, orange, and yellow tongues on Wednesday!
The parent volunteers of the Twin Trails Education Foundation and Parent Activities Committee are committed as ever to supplementing the outstanding education that our kids get at Sundance by providing funding and resources for activities and materials that further enrich their school experiences. Your contributions of monetary donations and volunteer hours are the combination that make it possible to continue the fine traditions of our school community.
But as parent stakeholders, you also have a voice in deciding how to direct these supplemental funds and efforts. We hope you will join us for our next Zoom TTEF board meeting at 7pm on Monday, September 14th, at the Zoom coordinates : 858-246-1128. We will begin our process of approving a base budget, setting fundraising goals for the year, and electing board members to one-year officer positions. We hope you’ll join us!
