Kudos to the following individuals who have given a great deal of their time since mid-January to encourage their fellow parents to charitably support our wonderful teachers and students. The Parent Class Agents' sole duty was to reach out to a small number of parents by phone, or in person, sharing their Landmark testimony and inviting them to do as they had been led to do, which was to give to Campaign Impact's annual Impact Goal #1 drive for students and teachers. These are our inaugural Parent Class Agents:

 

Brook Barnes, Mark Brown, Scott Brown, Jenny Echols, Lamar Grant, Tameka Grant, Laurie Gustafson, Andrea Kessler, Shannon Korta, Barbara Mitchell, Lisa Nadreau, Emerson Nogueira, Nancy Nogueira, Bridgette O'Neal, William O'Neal, Michele Pickett, Muriel Powell, Sally Rebel, Donna Schultz, Jason Schultz, Mark Stucker - Chair, Geoff Swearngin, Cindy Tanner,  and Joanne Wyckoff
