Guest Book

Volunteers
Last year volunteers donated over 11,000 hours of their time at Wards Creek Elementary.  Our inaugural year at Wards Creek was such a success.  We are excited to take that momentum and make the 2008-2009 school year even better.  We are so thankful to all of our volunteers that gave their time last year.  We would love to see even MORE and NEW volunteers this year. 

Lisa Knox, lknox@wardscreekpto.org,  is our volunteer coordinator.  If you are interested in serving on one of the committees please enter your interests in the PTO Manager.  Lisa or a committee member will get in touch with you. 

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!!!
