Attention all parents: are you wanting to take part or have a say in
your children's learning experience?
This is your chance to get involved and make a difference for your
son or daughter. Mark your calendars for January 9, 2002, as the
Community Center will be the site of the parent board committee meet
ing. The meeting will be complete with a meal, information on education
programs and basic information associated with the parent board com
