Parent Volunteers Needed
Julie Winter, Volunteer Coordinator (373-0605)
Lots of “finger desserts” are needed for the Parent
Information Nights on February 18th and 26th.
Please let Julie know if you can bring desserts or if
you can come help on one or both of the nights.
Help in the classrooms is always needed. Please
talk with your Parent Representative (see page 10

MPA Treasurer needed for next year
Livia Wyman has been our dedicated treasurer for
the past several years, even after her child has
graduated from 6th grade! We need nominations
of parents who would like to serve in this elected
position. Livia tells me that she’s got it all organ-
ized and ready for someone to easily take over. No
experience necessary. Please contact Rena Caton
if you are interested in this position for next year.
