PA Meeting Recap

By Joanie Connell, PA community vice president & Michelle O'Donnell, PA president
If you have not been to a PA breakfast meeting yet, make sure to go to the next one on Thursday, September 8. The food is delicious and abundant, and coffee is always plentiful. This morning’s meeting featured breakfast burritos and pastries from Bristol Farms, and aloha bowls from Robeks.

The theme for the meeting was gratitude. New families and parents of graduating seniors were welcomed and thanked, as were incoming and outgoing PA officers, volunteers, and the outgoing LJCDS Board of Trustees president Manish Parikh.
 
Dr. Gary Krahn announced the upcoming school survey that will be distributed by email next week. Students and parents are asked to participate in a schoolwide survey to give feedback to LJCDS to better serve you.
 
Blue Bash had a successful year, with 340 attendees, generous support of the financial assistance and professional development programs and vigorous participation in the silent and live auctions. To see the videos from the evening click here.
