Dear Parkwood Families,
This is going to be an exciting year at Parkwood! One of the reasons Parkwood is such an amazing place is because our parents and families all pitch in for a common cause – our fantastic kids! Volunteering is a great way to connect to the school and other families. It also sets a great example for our youngest community members. Our goal is to have 100% volunteer participation from our families. We think this goal is attainable because there are so many different ways you can contribute. We have small projects, ongoing roles, events, and opportunities to help from home. Whatever your desire or skill set, we have something for you!
Thank you,
Parkwood PTA – Volunteer Coordinator
