VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation is May 15-19! Last year we had a committee of 5 and each parent planned and implemented one day of treats or pampering for our teachers. Please consider helping either again or for the first time!
Please email Hospitality Chair Meagan Friedman if you can help!

Nominations for the 2023-2024 PTO
If you are interested in serving on the PTO Board or if you know someone who would be a great candidate, please complete the PTO Nominations Form or email our Volunteer Chair Valerie Carville.
Are you a CPA, bookkeeper or just fantastic with QuickBooks? We NEED you! Please consider volunteering as Treasurer or Treasurer Elect.
FRESHMAN and SOPHOMORE parents - now is the time to get more involved! Many of the current Board Members and Committee Chairs have rising seniors and will only be around one more year. Please consider sharing your time and talent with the PTO so we can have a smooth transition and pass institutional knowledge along to the next group of up-and-coming volunteers!
