Staff Appreciation:

Did you know the PTC Staff Appreciation committee plans at least one event for our wonderful staff every month? The February event was a Valentine’s spread of baguette, cheese, fruit, fancy drinks, and treats. Next month, a nacho/taco bar lunch is planned. These events are partially funded by the PTC and partially funded by our generous parents. If you would like to receive emails with needs for future events, please email Jennifer Collett at jenn.collett@gmail.com to be added to the request distribution list.

Did you know?

The PTC is completely volunteer run!

Each PTC Board Position commitment is for one year. A person may serve in the same position for a maximum of two consecutive years.

The following board positions will be open for next school year (2019-2020)

  • President
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Volunteer Coordinator (can be shared by two volunteers)

Board positions are crucial to the PTC and the school to provide support for our successful PTC programs.

If you are interested in becoming a board member, please see the position description/duties in our Bylaws and contact the current Volunteer Coordinator to share your interest.

Ideally, those interested should reach out now so they can shadow existing board members to learn more about the position during the current school year.
