Parent Superheroes

Our Washington Explorers PTA parents are wildly generous and contribute to the school community in so many ways. There is always work going on behind the scenes and we are looking for a few superheroes to fill these roles. Contact the PTA to learn more about these opportunities: Reflections* co-chair | Legislative advocacy chair | Spirit Wear committee | Spelling Bee chair

*Our current chair hero is in her final year at Washington. Would you like to receive the baton for the upcoming school year? Lots to learn while the art program is in full swing now.
