Site Council Parent Representatives

In the May 5th newsletter, we posted an announcement seeking parent representatives to the site council. We did not receive any applications by the May Site Council meeting; however we received two applications afterward and an inquiry from a third parent.

We received applications from Marisa Kettelhodt (Site Council Application MK). from Mark Blaine (Site Council Application – MB) and from Sarena Cook (Site Council Application – SC).  We will consider these parents for site council membership at our June meeting this Thursday.
