Planning for 2008-2009

Parent Council runs entirely on parent volunteers … and unless some more parents step up, we are going to miss out on some important social, educational, and fundraising events! We still need volunteers to coordinate the Family Fair (September event), Holiday Gift Wrap Sales (fall event), Election Day Bake Sale (November event), the Beach Party (winter event), and Celebrate With a Book (year round). We also are looking for two volunteers to assist with Savings Makes Sense (one hour on Tuesday mornings year-round) and a Co-Chair for the Book Fair (early December event). Please contact Catherine Sanderson (casanderson@amherst.edu, 256-4977) if you have any questions about what a particular position involves. We could also use room parents (although we can’t assign room parents to classes until the fall when classes are set, it is VERY helpful to have a list of willing parents so that these matches can be made quickly in August).
