Gathering Parent Volunteers for Steller Website
To: Steller Parents
Re: Steller Webpage Updates: Need Volunteers
Dear Parents,
Wouldn’t you like to see an awesome updated Steller webpage? I know I would.
The Parent Group has formed a committee to address the updates on Steller’s Website. We are looking for volunteers who can commit for a full school year. Each person would be responsible for updating a small section of the website. By doing this, the task will be less burdensome then just a few individuals driving the whole webpage. Once we have some names, I will setup a meeting so that we can discuss the details and task at hand. My guess is that if we get enough parents involved, each person would only have to spend a few hours quarterly to make updates.
We need your help. It’s is students and parents involvement that makes Seller the wonderful community that it is. If you are interested, please contact Dana Dardis at ddardis@gmail.com
