NEWSLETTER Thanks to all who attended the community council meeting and the room representative training meeting earlier this month. I am thrilled to have so many terrific volunteers taking a leadership role. One of the goals for the community council this year is to spread the work across many hands and to disseminate CC information in a multitude of ways. Too many times, we call on the same individuals because they are familiar to us. Prairie Creek is a community school, and it takes the entire community to pull off our many great events. Room reps and coordinator positions have been filled. Please make their job easier by responding to phone calls or emails asking for help. Volunteer opportunities will also be posted in several locations including: the website, www.prairiecreek.org, the CC monthly newsletter, the sign in table at school, and emails from room reps. Classroom Volunteer Workshop You are invited to an informative training session on the role of the classroom volunteer at PCCS.
