Tech Expert? The PTO Needs You!

This semester the PTO will be undertaking a technological "spring cleaning."  We need help from a small group of parents who can help us examine our website, payment and accounting tools, email, and social media presence.  If you have experience in these areas and a few hours of your time to give (or have a spouse or MLS friend who might fit the bill), please contact Laurel Geis at laurelgeis@mac.com or Holly Stancil at hmstancil@hotmail.com. Help us serve our school and parents more efficiently!
