PTA Meeting Recap

 

At our last PTA General Meeting we had a full agenda and many parents in attendance. We celebrated the student participants and winners in the Reflections contest. Totum Consulting gave a construction update. Several parents volunteered to be on the nominating committee to choose next year's PTA Executive Board. Then Police Liaison Officer Jesse Perez educated the parents of the school's emergency protocol.

Thank you to the 2nd grade parents for providing the breakfast spread.
