PTA SPOTLIGHT: VICKI DUNCAN
This is my third year to serve on the PTA Board. My current position is VP Communications. You may have seen me changing out the marquee in front of the school! I have enjoyed being a part of PTA over the years and seeing the progress that comes through it. We have a great group of caring moms that are truly dedicated to Greystone Elementary.
I would like to encourage everyone to be involved in PTA where it is possible. We have monthly meetings at the school and we would love for you to drop in anytime to see what it’s all about! All support is appreciated so much and through your continued support we are able to do great things at Greystone Elementary!
Congratulations to our Red Ribbon Week Contest Winners!
