URGENT: 2019-2020 Board Members Needed

The current board is not able to stay on for next year and we urgently need volunteers to fill the board positions. 
The current board has served for two years and is ready to pass the torch to new members who are excited to keep growing this amazing organization. Although not serving in board positions we are all committing to help transition and support the new board as members of committees and even leading committees. 
We are all working parents who have a lot of commitments outside of the PTSA and we need new people to step up and help keep it running.

Without the PTSA  there will be no Fun Run, Spring Fling, Movie Nights, Winter Jubilee, Teacher Appreciation Week and support for many school clubs including running Pueos. Not to mention the funds raised throughout the year are over $40,000 and include funding for new computers, classrooms and clubs.
