PTA BOARD MEMBERS NEEDED
The kids are getting older so many of our Board members will end their time on the Board at the end of this school year. We are looking for people to be the next generation of the WV PTA!! The bonus is, there is time to shadow a current member so the transition is seamless. The level of commitment varies. Contact Cindy Hutcheson if you would like to learn more or have any questions. This rewarding position is one you will truly enjoy!
Tomorrow is Day 3. Have a fantastic week!
