The PRC is a parent-run cooperative. As such, we are always in need of members to serve on committees, events and the board of directors. With only a few paid PRC staff members, many of the PRC jobs, such as planning and staffing activities and events, are run mostly by parent members.

Do you think you can help plan an event for the PRC? Then get involved!!!

If you are interested or need more information, please call the office and talk to our Executive Director, Sandy, at 767-3808.

Come to a Board Meeting and see what goes on behind the scenes at the PRC. The Board Meetings are on the second Thursday of the month at 8pm. Meetings are a place to bring your ideas and experience in to help the PRC run, and improve. While at the same time, get to know other PRC members beyond the classroom.

Important to note, refreshments are served.
