Are you interested in volunteering?
LTHS PTO is seeking a Directory Chairperson to start immediately.  If you are organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable with using computers and spreadsheets (nothing complicated, just simple logging of order form information and basic manipulation like sorting, setting print areas, etc.), you might be a perfect fit. You have a ready and experienced team already in place. :-) 

Contact Babita, president@lthspto.org for more information.
