The Family Council will be "electing" new members electronically, rather than getting people to "vote" on the playground. Look for an electronic Affirmation of new Family Council Members coming out the week of the Fundraising Gala & Auction. Don't be scared by the term "Election." There is no competing or campaigning involved!
What exactly is Family Council?
Family Council is a group of approximately 14 parents, our co-Directors Suzanne Gregg & Heather Dennis, and two teachers. We have several different committees that we serve on (class room coordinator's director, CBC committee participant, School Safety & Transportation, Library committee, Board Liaison) and then we also work together to tackle the following topics:
New Parent Orientation
Back to School Picnic
Harvest Celebration
School T-Shirt
Chili Social
School Climate and Anser Family Community
Fundraising and Funds Allocation, ie new curriculum, class room supplies
What are the commitments?
2 year term (with option for 3)
10 monthly meetings/yr (typically the 1st Wed of the month from 7-9pm)
Assistance with School Functions including set-up and take-down
So you can see, being a Family Council member is really fun and not that time consuming. It is a great way to have one-on-one time with the administration and your children's teachers, and to lend your voice in Anser's ever-improving vision.
Please consider "running," which simply means letting current FC President, James Cryer, know that you're interested! We would love to hear YOUR voice.
