Our school board is comprised of volunteer parents and our two teachers. This is a great way to be involved with both the business and educational aspects of our school. By volunteering on the board you fulfill your cooperative commitment for the year. Responsibilities include monthly meetings along with individual tasks that require completion between the meetings.
