2016/17 New Parent Council Executive

Thank you to all the parents who attended last week's first Parent Council Meeting of the school year!

It was a little longer (and hotter!) than usual, but first meetings of the year tend to be. But for those of you who were there, you saw first hand the important role parent council plays in supporting our school. These monthly meetings are where important decisions are made and previously raised funds are allocated to various school programs, classrooms and initiatives. These decisions directly impact all of our children at the school so the more parent voices we have in the room the better the students' needs are represented - so PLEASE try to attend!

Coming to parent council requires only as much commitment as you are able to give. You do not have to take on an elected position or volunteer for anything if you don't have the time/means to be able to contribute, though it is thanks to hard work of the various Chairs and Volunteers that we are able to fundraiser and provide for our school in the ways that we have.  Just being a present voice and vote at the meetings is a very valued contribution!  

Meeting minutes will be posted here as soon as they are available. Stay tuned!

We have also elected the new Parent Council for the 2016/2017 year:

Chair- Amy Then
Co-Chair: Bobbie Habisreutinger
Secretary: Sara Martin
Treasurer: Stephanie Cardwell-Clitheroe
Co-Treasurer: Ron Lyman
Ward 7 Rep: Joe Costa
