9. Closing Comments
Parental support is key to our ability to support students, administrators, and faculty.
Attendance, Donations, Volunteering, or Paying Dues
We realize all parents can’t make every event or every meeting however, MEMBERSHIP DUES are a key component of our ability to fund items in support of events.
All funds raised are accounted for and used for the benefit of students, administrators and faculty.
