We promise, it’s not just PTA business! There are so many reasons to attend:
• Cider and donuts from Parmenters!
• A conversation with our NPS Superintendent (or a rep) about new initiatives in the district.
• Updates on events coming up, Trunk or Treat, and more!
• Opportunity to sign up to be a PTA chairperson, on a committee, or a one-time volunteer (there are big and small jobs).
• All are welcome! Anyone can come, but only registered PTA members may vote.
• PLUS: Bring your kids, if you want! We have two high school volunteers to play with and supervise your kids outdoors on the playground while adults enjoy a quick & peaceful meeting.
• Look for the agenda and link to livestream (you can join virtually too!) to be sent by email next week.
Please RSVP to help us get a headcount for volunteers and cider and donuts.
