Consider joining Parents’ Club Board

All SMM parents are asked to consider joining the Parents’ Club Board. Serving on the Board has many benefits:

• Fun way to meet other SMM parents
• Great way to contribute to the school
• Perfect way to stay informed of what’s going on
• Excellent method to teach your children – by setting the example – the value of volunteering.

The Board desires more members for the 2012-2013 school year because several dedicated Board members who have served for many years will be leaving SMM school. Their 7th and 8th grade children will be attending high school next year.
