Vice President
3 year commitment (year 1: VP, year 2 & 3: Co-President). It is set up this way to ensure there is a succession plan as folks roll off the board. The VP and Presidents meet monthly with school admin to plan out school events (e.g. picnics, field day, glow run, teacher appreciation, etc.), assist admin with ordering school supplies (e.g. sports equipment, snacks for teachers lounge, etc.) and also help with other things as needed. We have various sub committees that run the events (e.g. social committee, room parent coordinator, library volunteers, enrichment, etc.) so the board serves as oversight and is the liaison between school admin and parents.
