Dedicated Volunteers: Upward and Onward
This graduating class of 5th grade parents have been much of the volunteer backbone of the PTC and we are so grateful for their commitment to make Terra Linda a great place to learn and grow!
We have many parent volunteers moving on to middle school. Although we cannot name all the incredible 5th grade parents who have given of their time, there are a few we’d like to thank publicly.
These parent volunteers have made many of the activities your students have participated in over the years possible.
