This is a jam-packed and important meeting, so please come, even if you never have before! There will be voting on two proposals (Garden Proposal and After School Scholarships Proposal), the Budget Committee will present a plan for a new Reserves Policy, we will begin the conversation about roles next year, and there will be updates from all the committees. Remember, you must be a PTA Member to vote - join here! We hope to see all the regulars and some new faces too! Everyone is welcome to come.
Lunch Servers Still Needed for March
We’re still in need of several lunch servers during the month of March. If you’ve never done it before and have some flexibility during the day, now’s the time to give it a shot! According to one volunteer, “It’s super fun! It’s your chance to get a glimpse into your child’s school life and what goes on in the cafeteria. I like to go sit with my daughter after I serve all the kids. She loves it, too! Rie [the nutrition services specialist] is great, so very thankful, and she even feeds you when you help out!” The shift is from 10:55-12:30, and every day the school needs two volunteers to help serve. Start by becoming an approved PPS volunteer, and then sign up!
