ICE PTA Seeking Two (2) Treasurers-in-Training

Our wonderful team of Kirsti and Andrea have committed to one more school year. They need two parents to step up and start learning the ropes, little by little over the course of the next school year. They will show you everything you need to know.
Please consider making this very important contribution to the smooth running of the PTA and the school!

The only requirement is that you have two hours available once/week during school hours. Everything else can happen at home, online. 

Contact Lisa and Liz of the PTA Nominating Committee.
