Speaker Ideas
Next night meeting we are hoping to have a speaker talk about a topic of the parent’s choice.
Maybe plan an event based off the speaker to have a parent/child event afterwards to try what was learned.
Send out a survey to parents about what they would like more support in and then use that to ask teachers if they would be available to show or support.
Next meeting is on Thurs, Feb 7 at 11:30 am in the library
