Please join us for our next meeting, scheduled for Wednesday November 2nd!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our first general meeting last week! Our meetings are open to the entire community and are a great opportunity to meet with school administrators, PTO leaders and parents in our district. 

We hope you join us in November and take advantage of a great opportunity to connect in person.
