We have also included descriptions of the board positions, as well as chair positions under each Vice President for you to review here.   If anyone is interested in getting involved, but does not want to serve on the PTA Board, volunteering to be a chairperson is a great way.  We hope to see many new faces next year.  Thanks for your support.
