🎉 ROOM PARENTS NEEDED! 💙💜🧡

Want to be a little more involved in your child’s classroom this year? Here’s your chance to join the fun—and get a front-row seat to some of the most special moments of their school year! 🥰

Being a room parent is about more than helping out. It’s a chance to be right there for the classroom celebrations, special activities, memories, and those little moments your child will be talking about long after the school year is over.💙💜🧡

✨ Classes still needing a room parent:

📚 Kindergarten — Mrs. Leake (SPOT FILLED)
📚 1st Grade — Mrs. Stanley
📚 2nd Grade — Mrs. Rately
📚 3rd Grade — Mrs. Defriese, Mrs. Hodgson (SPOT FILLED) & Mrs. Montoya (SPOT FILLED)
📚 4th Grade — Mrs. Dimler, Mrs. Staton & Mrs. Cole
📚 5th Grade — Mrs. Behr (SPOT FILLED)

You’ll get to connect with your child’s teacher, meet other parents, help make classroom activities happen, and most importantly, have a front-row seat to all those special moments that make elementary school so memorable. 🥰
