*Immediate need for PTO Treasurer*
Our Treasurer, Jean Petrino, is resigning from the PTO Board due to personal reasons effective March 1, 2023.
We thank Jean for all of her years of service on the PTO -- we are all a group of volunteer parents, and we cannot do this without our PTO Community support!
We don't expect anyone to "know what to do" -- Jean has graciously offered to help transition this new Board member into this role and be a resource of her knowledge.
We also have PTO Board terms ending in June for:
-President (currently Debbie Coleman)
-Vice President (currently Karen Pino)
-Secretary (currently Val Alfeo)
Our terms are staggered, so each school year a portion of our Board seats are open for new members!
If you are interested in learning more (no commitment to have a convo!) -- please reach out to us via Facebook, email (northeastptoboard@gmail.com or treasurer.nepto@gmail.com) or grab one of us at pickup. We'd love to help provide more info!
