NOMINATING COMMITTEE Our nominating committee has been working hard to find volunteers to serve on next year’s PTO Board. If you are in interested in nominating someone for the board or volunteering on the board please be sure to contact Tammy Quiin ASAP at trquinn@netzero.com. It is time again to begin thinking about serving on next year’s PTO board. The position of co-president and treasurer will be open next year.
COMMITTEE CHAIRS – If you have volunteered as a committee chair this year we want to tip our hats in a big thank you. Please begin to think about your commitment next year and if you are not going to return to your current position please let Amy Murphy know. Also you know your volunteers and committee best if there is someone on the committee that would be a leader next year please speak to them about filling that position. All folders for the committee should be returned to Amy Murphy with updated notes by the first of May. We will update the folders with new budget and tax information and return them to the chair timely.
LOST AND FOUND-Please be sure to check out lost and found when you are in the building. It is located in the main entry hall and outside the office. We have several racks of items. A big thanks to Nicole Wasielewski for keeping it organized.
