Dear PESI Supporters,
Below is a Zoom link for committee meetings we have scheduled for Monday, May 3rd at 4:30. We would love for everyone to hop on a committee if you haven’t already. We are working on 3 major projects outlined in the newsletter and discussed at our last general meeting: parent advocacy, principal PD and facilitator support. We need everyone’s input and energy, as these are our major goals for the next few months. We want to keep the meeting under an hour and hope to compile a to-do list for each project. Now is the time to join us even if you’ve never been able to meet with us before. Pick your passion – WE NEED YOU!
See you on Monday,
Becky and Marleen
Meeting ID: 894 8219 8403
