Committee Chairs Needed for 2019-2020 School Year
We have a number of Committee Chairs whose children are moving on this year, and thus a number of vacancies to fill. This is a great way to meet other parents and get involved, with opportunities to give as much or as little time as you desire/can handle!
Our goal is to be as inclusive as possible and we proactively work with schedules so that even parents who work full-time can be a part of this dynamic team. Please consider this your invitation to join us!
If you are interested or just want to find out more, please contact Stephanie Carmichael: stephanie.carmichael@wolterskluwer.com. We can’t wait to welcome you!
Keep Collecting Box Tops!
