PARENT VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH
|
The Parent Association would like to recognize the wonderful volunteer spirit of Josh Boyle, our December Parent Volunteer of the Month!
Josh Boyle is the father of Lauren in 2nd. Whenever there is a need for a volunteer, Josh seems to magically appear. Whether it is as class room rep, Winter Festival organizer, procurer of a foosball table for the aftercare trailer, keeping the garden at Company of Angels watered, or what seems like a hundred other things, Josh is always there to help. He even rolls up his sleeves to assist if another parent is ill and can't keep up with their own volunteer commitments. Last year's WSOC Brewery Knit Night is just another way Josh has brought his fun and positive spirit to our school community.
Many thanks from the Parent Association to Josh Boyle for all that he does!
We would also like to recognize the amazing volunteer efforts of Laura Zeni, Jennifer Clapp, and Sonia Parisi, as well as all the other wonderful parents who put in so much time for our school and the students.
If you know an outstanding parent volunteer that you would like to see recognized, please let the Parent Association know by submitting their name in the Parent Volunteer of the Month nomination box located in the front office. Students are also welcome to nominate parent volunteers - just not their own of course!
