StillHaveJoy My family and I have recently relocated to the DC area. I was the PTO chair at the high school for 4 years and served in other volunteer capacities at the other schools. Iwas always at at least 4 schools per week. IT was not easy but it was one of the bigest joys I had. I have not gotten involved here yet, spending a lot of time seeing what is already in place before I rolled up my sleeves. From where I have sat its always best, in my opinion, to have a school and a parental organization that work together and share comon goals and more importantly are REALLY open to parental participation and input. So often schools see parents as the vessel of monetary support but in my experience not only did we HELP finance the and support the school we were very instrumental in some District concerns that ultimately would affect the education of our children. Glad to be here...sorry so long winded. HAve a blessed Day Ladies.
