The current PTO officers’ terms expire at the end of the school year, and we need a new group of parents to ensure the continuation of the PTO’s mission: to support the school community and enhance our children’s educational experience through fundraising, programming and community activities.

Thanks to  to outgoing Co-Presidents Marcia Tabenken and Brian Zabin, Vice President Lisa DiFelice, and Treasurer Jeff Kolodney for their outstanding service.

Here are brief descriptions of each of the officer positions:
