Help Wanted!
- Yearbook- Our current Yearbook committee is looking for help with this year's Yearbook as well as someone to begin learning the website. The students love receiving the Yearbook each year and it is a great way to preserve memories from year to year. If you are interested, please contact Sandra Esposito at sandra_esposito05@yahoo.com.
- Pod Parents- Our Pod Parent committee is looking for a new chair for the 2018-2019 school year. Each year, our pod parents come in to help the teachers with various tasks during the first week of school to help with a smooth beginning to the new school year. Some of the tasks involved include copying, cutting, labeling, sorting, etc. The chair of this committee would create a Sign-up genius to be sent out to interested parents. If you would like to chair this committee for next year, please contact either Sheila Hercek at sheilajlhercek@hotmail.com or Meg Dick at meg213@gmail.com.
