Dear Day families,

The Day PTO recently completed an online election to select five parents who will represent our parent community on the Principal Selection Advisory Committee. Congratulations to: 
  • Jeff Dias
  • Mary Beth DeNucci 
  • Lisa Conti 
  • Sally Campbell 
  • Margaret Albright
On behalf of the entire Day PTO community, we would like to thank these parent representatives, as well as candidates Patrick Singleton, Harry Sanders, Elizabeth Reilly, Jackie Gelb-Bicknell, and Michelle Ciurea, all of whom stepped forward to volunteer their time for this important responsibility.   
 
The Principal Selection Advisory Committee will meet and review applications in March and early April and will conduct interviews in the second week of April, aiming to select finalists who will visit Day in the last week of April.

 If you have any questions, please contact Archana, Phyllis, and Susan at copresidents@daypto.org.

Thanks to all who participated in this election.
