Thank you, volunteers!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2024-2025 Volunteer Opportunities<\/strong><br \/>\nThe PA is looking for volunteers for next year. We need volunteers in all divisions, supporting everything from classroom parties to teacher appreciation to summer events. We want all parents and guardians to feel welcome and to engage in meaningful ways that fit their schedules. We often hear that people want to help out but do not want to be in charge. We are working on turning planning into more of a committee structure. If you would be willing to help organize within a group setting, reach out. Please get in touch with the PA at <strong><a href=\"mailto:PA@moundsparkacademy.org\">PA@moundsparkacademy.org<\/a><\/strong> to let us know how you might like to be involved. It is a great way to give back to the community and connect with other parents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Farewell Party<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Tuesday, May 28<\/strong><br \/>\nPlease join our middle schoolers and families for Field Day and a Farewell to John and Jenn Milam.
