6. PTA Meeting Liaison Request
The PTA is in search of volunteers to attend our general meetings and relay the information discussed back to their child’s classroom parents so everyone can hear what took place at the meeting. There are only four additional meetings for the school year so the time commitment is minimal! If interested in helping out please email Jenn DiCosola at jennbala@hotmail.com or Susan Lorenc at susan_lorenc@hotmail.com
