My Project

As a parent coordinator it's part of my job duties to create a welcoming school environment. In sometimes that means decorating for school events, which happens to be something I enjoy very much. Working in a small school with a limited budget, cost can pile up very quickly. With your help, I will be able to decorate our school events for the remainder of the year and then some and give our students and families events to remember for a lifetime. Please assist my efforts to create community at school!
