The wonderful Parents Association has done so much this year and we are so grateful to Dierdre Sepp for stepping up to the leadership role.
Thanks for the fun meetings. I always look forward to them – good energy, good things accomplished, progress made and creative ideas explored. And always upbeat and lively.
Our parent volunteers are the leaders in our community. They are the difference makers. They step up to do what needs to done to keep the school the dynamic, welcoming and creative place it is. They enrich the lives of every member of the community and – most of all – our students.
They are generous with their time, their creative energy and their extraordinary talents. Just as we can’t do it without the financial support of the Annual Fund we can’t do it without the time and talents of our wonderful parent volunteers.
We rely on them in so many ways. The PA sponsors key events throughout the year and parents volunteer at every turn.
Parent leaders do all these and more: (Let me know what I’ve missed!)
But most of all they lead. Leadership is saying yes, seeing what needs to be done and doing it.
Parent leaders make the difference. They make the community. They make the difference!
And they know how to have fun.
So in celebration of our wonderful parent leaders: A few glimpses of the work of the year.
