Well you're in luck, please join us for the Quarterly Coffee and Meeting tomorrow at 8:30 am in the California Room. Polly Mayer, Director of the Raskob Clinic, will speak and answer questions from 8:30 to 9 am. The RPA meeting will follow and will focus on planning the Raskob Social on March 19th. We will also discuss our fundraising goals for the Social and vote on what to try and purchase for the school. Come and let your voices be heard!
Exciting News! A parent education event on Assistive Technology for our students will be held on Sunday, February 28th from 4 to 5:30 pm. The speaker is a Raskob parent who is an expert in this area. More information is presented below.
