Academy PTA Holds Volunteer Breakfast
Academy Street parents share the first meal of the day with the school's PTA.
At the start of each new school year, Academy Street PTA holds a volunteer breakfast so the group can become better acquainted and begin organizing the year’s events.
Newly elected PTA president Wendy Clare explained why they do the volunteer breakfast. "The volunteer breakfast is a more intimate setting [than the first PTA meeting], so hopefully parents feel comfortable about signing up and asking questions," she said.
Academy Street PTA member Laura Chesnowitz enjoys organizing events. “My kids love seeing me around the school. You have to support the school by doing whatever you can to help out. It's very nice of the PTA to do this breakfast – they do a great job.”
